As Good a Choice as Anyone

When you’ve used up all your second chances
And you curse your set of circumstances
And you’re turning into a ghost that haunts
A house he really didn’t want

You want to scream but it doesn’t make sense
To waste your words in your own defense
And you’re told to embrace the thing you hate
Because good things come to those who wait

Don’t give up
A change is gonna come
Don’t give up
I can feel it rustling in the wind
Take my hand
We’ll go wandering through the dark
We’re as good a choice as anyone
To find the light again

When all your plans go up in smoke
And turn into a running joke
And the people living in the past
Say they knew it wouldn’t last

Don’t give up
A change is gonna come
Don’t give up
I can hear it singing in the night
Take my hand
We’ll go wandering through the dark
We’re as good a choice as anyone
To finally get it right

There are curses in the sidewalk
Of this cold and bitter town
That get inside your head as you’re wandering
They don’t care what you’re feeling
They don’t care what you think
They don’t care what you’re dreaming

Now young men sing and genuflect
To the patron saint of lack of respect
And the old and angry build their case
To put those bastards in their place

And you try to scream but it doesn’t make sense
To waste your words on ignorance
From the people living in the past
Who say that you will never last

Don’t give up
A change is gonna come
Don’t give up
I can hear it rustling in the wind
Take my hand
We’ll go wandering through the dark
We’re as good a choice as anyone
To find the light again
To find the light again
