LYRICS

It’s easy to be in opposition And it’s easy to see enough things that ain’t right And it’s to point the finger of blame And it’s easy to feel the virtue having never played the game

But there’s good days and bad days And there will be always Good news and bad news everywhere you go Good people and bad ones, but in the balance You can see that it’s easy

Take a look at the bigger picture Take some time on the other side The truth you’ll find, if you’ll accept it Is it’s a good time to be alive, even if it ain’t perfect

It’s easy to think and walk and talk in circles And it’s easy to shout when you don’t say anything And it’s easy to stay, always the same And it’s to feel the bravery of being out of range

Take a look at the bigger picture Take some time on the other side The truth you’ll find, if you’ll accept it Is it’s a good time to be alive, even if it ain’t perfect

There’s good days and bad days And there will be always Good news and bad news everywhere you go Good people and bad ones, but in the balance You can see that it’s easy
