about

This is a story about a fictional character who: Got mad, left the room, came back, got mad again, left again, thought better of it, and then came up with a different way to think about it. It goes something . . . like this. . .

Certainly
Music and Lyrics by Michael Silverstone
12/6/14 ©2014 Mr. Silverstone Music Publishing/ASCAP

I . . . usually know what I want
but have come to believe
that I don’t
I don’t know now ‘cause I. . .

So. . . want to try to be strong
but it never feels right
to work this hard, all alone now

Certainly we can make our lives
into how we want them
Certainly we can see things right
I see them right now

We. . .have a problem or two
that will not go away
--no matter what we do

We fight—and we don’t know what for
and we don’t ever see
what we lose
by wanting more

Certainly we can teach ourselves
how to hold the moment
Certainly we can see things right
I see them right now

You . . .and me have got to believe
there is something to try
when we get—to the end of our patience
You know. . .we have something we share
and there’s got to be ways
to work out—how to love these days ‘cause

Certainly we can make our lives
into how we want them
Certainly we can see things right
I see them right now
