Cycles - Della Reese

So I’m down and I’m out

But so are many others!

So I feel like tryin' to hide

My head 'neath these covers!

Life is like the seasons

After Winter comes the Spring

So I’ll keep this smile awhile

And see what tomorrow brings

I’ve been told and I believe

That life is meant for livin'

And even when my chips are low

There’s still some left for givin'!

I’ve been many places

Maybe not as far as you

So I think I’ll stay awhile

And see if some dreams come true!

There isn’t much that I have learned

Through all my foolish years

Except that life keeps runnin' in cycles;

First there’s laughter, then there’s tears!

But I’ll keep my head up high

Although I’m kinda tired;

My gal just up and left last week

Friday, I got fired!

You know, it’s almost funny

But things can’t get worse than now!

So I’ll keep on tryin' to sing

But please don’t ask me how!
