Cycles

So I'm down and so 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'.
 So 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 running in cycles.
 First there's laughter, then those tears.
 But I'll keep my head up high
 Although I'm kind of tired.
 My gal just up and left last week
 And 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, just don't ask me how.
