This Will Be Our Year

I can love 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'll make do, like everyone

Put my head upon the pillow when the day is done

I make do, don't we all?

Hope we're headed for a future and 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 build it

Making life, make something to call our own

Just enough to keep the wolf at bay

Just enough so you don't feel so alone

I'll make do, like everyone

What's the point regretting all the things we've done?

We 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

This will be our year

I'll make do, like everyone

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

We 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

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

This will be our year

This will be our year
