Lyrics
THE BLUES AIN'T FOR EVERYONE
V.1
I see you in the rain
You're runnin' for the train
It's leavin'
You wish the earth would cave in
Just like and early grave and
Conceal you
Lift
It brought you to your knees
That's why you're strong today
Climbed from the bottom rung
Up to the top to say:
Chorus
Hey, The Blues Ain't for Everyone
I keep my eyes on the risin' sun
The Blues Ain't for Everyone"
V.2
You say: I fell a time or two
This lady sang the blues
I've been there
Sometimes you have to look
Back at the road you took
To be here
Lift
Yes, there's a time for tears
And there's a time for faith
Them blues have all been sung
And now I'm here to say (CHORUS)
BRIDGE
You say: Life's too short for the bleedin'
Yes, I'm done with the grievin'
Time has come for believin'
(Solo)
V.3
Because you've broken through
Your lonely Waterloo
Inside you
Your single victory
Can set a thousand free
Just like you
Lift
Yes, there's a time to cry
A time to change your fate
I love what you've become
I love to hear you say: (CHORUS)
TAG
Life's too short for the bleedin'
Yes, I'm done with the grievin'
Time has come for believin'
Life's too short for the bleedin'
Yes, I'm done with the grievin'
Time has come, time has come
