Lyrics Sample

Everybody has bad days.

Everyone has bad weeks.

Every now and then it seems like years

Since laughter lit your cheeks.

But even in the worst of moments,

When storm-clouds fill your eyes,

Always search for rays of hope:

That’s what I advise...

Every cloud has a silver lining.

If you know what you’re looking for.

You will see that the sun is shining

If your heart’s an open door.

Every wrong can be righted,

Bad dreams come to an end.

Every dark corner can be filled with light,

What’s broken you can mend.

And even in the worst of moments,

When storm-clouds fill your eyes,

Always search for rays of hope:

That’s what I advise!

Every cloud has a silver lining...(etc.)
