lyrics

When it All Turns to Gladness
Words and Music by Michael Silverstone
©2016 Mr. Silverstone Music/ASCAP
9-17-16

Floating in suspension
resting in your heart
or with those
most disposed
to be kind

You try to make a promise
You take forever to be true
that you
can’t define
at the time

We want what we want
when it all
turns to gladness
we want what
we want
what we want.

I made myself a mission
I put together with the fears
that I
couldn’t hide
anymore
But by my own admission
nothing could ever be the same
when we lose
what we knew from before

CHORUS
We want what we want. . .

Little wonder
when you start to understand
that there are going to be demands
that keep on pulling you under
Little wonders
and little wishes that come true
like the ones that come to you
without your having try it
without your having having to. . .

Let the music make you happy
Let the lyrics make you glad
In ways
that days
will let you know
For now let’s hope tomorrow
is more than yesterday
but right now . . is good. . .even so

We want what we want
when it all
turns to gladness
we want what
we want
what we want. 2x
