OF TRIALS, TRIBULATIONS AND HOPE!

David M. Bailey back on the concert trail...

-

Well it ain’t any fun when they tell you you have cancer
And it sure don’t help when they say they have no answer
At the time you’ll think it is the greatest curse
Let me tell you there is one thing that’s worse
If they tell you it was gone but now it’s back
When you thought you’d won but you’re still under attack
Talk about taking the wind out of your sails
It’s only tragic if you’re thinking that hope fails
Because hope, my friend did not let you down
No, it carried you across you the rocky ground
And it set you on this water that you know
It will hold you til the breeze begins to blow
Don’t you worry if the tide is still too low
The day will come when your courage starts to grow
Before long you will see it overflow
You may feel that it’s all a bit too slow
But soon enough you’ll remember what you know
It’s never too late to get up and go
Now’s the time to practice what you’ve learned
When the rain comes down let the little light burn
Keep on to the point of no return
Decide that you will do more than survive
Each day is a chance for you to thrive
And thrive you will if you make that your choice
Faith, hope & Love still need a voice
So tell me, what are you waiting for?
Go ahead - - it’s time to leave this shore
You have no idea what’s in store
Between here and the the horizon there is more
The adventure has only just begun
So what if you’re back at square one
Close your eyes and count to ten
Then sail away and do it again
