Just Around the Corner

Something's bound to happen
One day very soon 
Just around the corner 

A distant light will shine


Coming out of nowhere 
A balmy breeze is blowing 
Listen to it closely
Hear the bell tower chime


In a world of frosty shoulders
Find a helping hand 
When the burden can’t be managed 
Someone lightens up the load


Past the angry faces
There’s space beyond the rain
A glimmer in the distance
Is where miracles unfold


Exceeding the constraints
Of a weak imagination
The peaked, pallid paradise
Is steadily emerging


Blood is pumping quickly
From a far too bitter heart
Visions gaining focus
Karmic energy is surging


Though January lingers
Suppressing optimism
Cooling aspirations
And dampening the view


Just around the corner 
April blooms will blossom
And just around the corner 
There's time for me and you.
Just Around the Corner


Something's bound to happen
One day very soon
Just around the corner
A brilliant light will shine


Coming out of nowhere
A balmy breeze is blowing
Listen to it closely
Hear the bell tower chime


In a world of frosty shoulders
Find a helping hand
When the burden can’t be borne
Someone lightens up the load


Past the angry faces
There’s calm beyond the storm
A glimmer in the distance
Is where miracles unfold


Exceeding the constraints
Of a weak imagination
The peaked, pallid paradise
Is steadily emerging


Blood is pumping quickly
From a far too bitter heart
Visions gaining focus
Karmic energy is surging


Though January lingers
Suppressing optimism
Cooling aspirations
And dampening the view


Just around the corner
April blooms will blossom
A
Just Around the Corner


Something's bound to happen
One day very soon
Just around the corner
A brilliant light will shine


Coming out of nowhere
A balmy breeze is blowing
Listen to it closely
Hear the bell tower chime


In a world of frosty shoulders
Find a helping hand
When the burden can’t be borne
Someone lightens up the load


Past the angry faces
There’s calm beyond the storm
A glimmer in the distance

Suppressing optimism
Cooling aspirations
And dampening the view


Just around the corner
April blooms will blossom
And just around the corner
There's time for me and you.
