Now And Then

Now and then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single day would beTo never wait in a driving rain
For the bus that never came
And not to be the one to blame
For anybody else's miseryNow and then
I contemplate a different way around this day
With nothing more than simple words, so I can say
I'm quite content and happy being meWalking tall with peace of mind
To leave no childhood dreams behind
Arriving home to always find
Things just as I know they ought to beNow and then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single day would beTo never wait in a driving rain
For the bus that never came
And not to be the one to blame
For anybody else's miseryNow and then
I wake up when it hits me like a ton of bricks
I realize it's me who has to take the licks
No angels up there looking after meNo rainbow with a pot of gold
No cloak to shield me from the cold
No pill to stop me growing old
Dreams fading into stark reality
