It's Best ...
Sometimes
it’s a very good idea
to cry
Sometimes
hello the opening act
of goodbye
Sometimes
what you think about
is not what you know
Sometimes
the reason to come
the best reason to go
Sometimes
when cresting the hill
the view doesn’t change
Sometimes
when cresting the hill
your destiny claimed
Sometimes
when music enthralls
the poetry flows
Sometimes
when music enthralls
there’s nothing to sow
Sometimes
a wish in the wind
beats two in the well
Sometimes
the harder we pray
the closer to hell
Sometimes
just what you ask for
is just what you’ll get
Sometimes
when hope has been lost
— it’s best to forget
