This Will Be Our Year lyrics

I can live with my old friend disappointment,

I can live with things not as they ought to be.

I can snatch a sorry crumb of comfort,

From the jaws of what might have been victory.

I make do, like everyone,

I put my head down on the pillow when the day is done.

I make do, don’t we all?

We hope we’re heading for a future,

We’re not headed for a fall…

I don’t know what this world’s about but,

This will be our year.

I don’t know why I’m singing out but

This will be our year.

Day by day, brick by brick we’ll build it,

Make a life, make something to call our own.

Just enough to keep the wolf at bay,

Just enough so we don’t feel so alone.

I make do, like everyone,

What’s the point regretting all the things you’ve done?

I make do, that’s what it takes yeah...

You keep on keeping on

And you learn from your mistakes

I don’t know what this world’s about but,

This will be our year.

I don’t know why I’m singing out but

This will be our year. Come on now.

This will be our year. Hold on now

This will be our year.

I make do, like everyone,

I put my head down on the pillow when the day is done.

I make do, that’s what it takes, yeah.

You keep on keeping on, you learn from your mistakes.

I don’t know what this world’s about but,

This will be our year.

I don’t know why I’m singing out but...

This will be our year. Yeah, hey, hey!

I don’t know what this world’s about but,

This will be our year.

I don’t know why I’m singing out but

This will be our year. Come on now

This will be our year. Hold on now.

This will be our year.
