In the dark early morning
or in the light of the day
I would not expect you to be
seeing things this way
The light hold surprises
as it comes into view
I know that’s true
from the way that you
have shown it to be
I was only dreaming
of a hopeful feeling
I was hoping, I was hoping,
I was hoping, I was hoping
I would be strong enough to
hold my own when
I began to wonder
if I could keep myself
from going under
though it’s vital
I know right’ll
get to hold the deed and title
once we have listened to
this whole recital
In the times of trouble
when we don’t see the end
It may take different forms than we
are able to befriend
We might only imagine
ways it may turn out
That’s. . .just the way it has to be
sometimes
But I’ve been always hoping
I’d be better coping with
all the disappointment we have
found among the dreams that we have
had just about enough of
doing without but. . .
In the quiet turning
I feel my hope returning
in the evening
it’s been even
more deceiving
though I’m leaving
room in my heart now to be
even-Steven
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,
I’ve been hoping, I’ve been hoping,

If metal sounded less like Spinal Tap, it would all sound like this. These guys are individually hugely talented, and collectively fantastic. And they are really nice people. Who better to support? Michael Silverstone
