SILVER LINING
By Merchant
Arranged by Leston Paul
Album: Innervisions, T&T 1989

When everything seem to be gone
The worst thing to do is sit down and mourn
Don't let frustration get the better of you
And make you do things you should never do
You got to keep the faith, you can't surrender
You never know, tomorrow may be brighter.

Behind every dark cloud there's a silver lining
So don't give up hope now, we got to keep on trying... oh lord
We got to keep on going... ah ha
We got to keep on moving on.

As long as you have health and strength
Reaching your goal, nothing should prevent
Every time you fall, get up again
Don't sit down there like that and complain
You got to stand up and continue fighting
Don't give up! Keep courage, you must win...don't you know

Behind every dark cloud there's a silver lining
So don't give up hope now, we got to keep on trying... oh lord
We got to keep on going... ah ha
We got to keep on moving on.

Obstacles will get in the way
Stumbling blocks to hinder your day
But you can't afford to let them stop you
No matter how hard it is to go through
You got to stand up and continue fighting
Endurance shall win in the ending...don't you know

Behind every dark cloud there's a silver lining
So don't give up hope now, we got to keep on trying... oh lord
We got to keep on going... ah ha
We got to keep on moving on.

Be of a strong positive mind
Negative thoughts, leave them behind
We got to go forward in sure certainty
Let no element humbug that possibility
But if you give up, you have no way of kowing
If next day would have brought good tidings...don't you know

Behind every dark cloud there's a silver lining
So don't give up hope now, we got to keep on trying... oh lord
We got to keep on going... ah ha
We got to keep on moving on.
Behind every dark cloud there's a silver lining
So don't give up hope now, we got to keep on trying
We got to keep on going
We got to keep on moving on.

We know it's a long and winding road
And we got a heavy load
But we have to hold the show
Get up, get up and try again because....

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Merchant. I really, really needed this message today. You have helped to lift the enervating pall that's been dragging me down.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
