"Sails" lyrics

"Sails"

Life is hard, but it can be funny
Stars still shine if they ain't lucky
A bee's still a bee if it ain't making honey
The sun's still the sun, even when it ain't sunny

There's way more weeds than flowers in your garden
You placed your bet, but it ain't in the cards
Well, don't you forget
No, it ain't over yet

Your heart's gonna break, that town's gonna talk
Your mind's gonna change, and your sky's gonna fall
Ain't always hallelujah when you try to pray
It don't make you a loser if you ain't winning today
If you can't move the mountain, grab your shovel and your pail
You can't control the wind, but you can adjust your sails

So lace up your shoes and roll up your sleeves
Love can be good to you, but it sure can be mean
When it's hard to keep going, 'cause the going's at its toughest
Keep some hope in your bucket

'Cause your heart's gonna break, that town's gonna talk
Your mind's gonna change, and your sky's gonna fall
Ain't always hallelujah when you try to pray
It don't make you a loser if you ain't winning today
If you can't move the mountain, grab your shovel and your pail
You can't control the wind, but you can adjust your sails, mmm

Ooh
Even if you get turned around
Ooh
You'll get where you're going someday, somehow

'Cause your heart's gonna break, that town's gonna talk
Your mind's gonna change, and your sky's gonna fall
It ain't always hallelujah when you try to pray
It don't make you a loser if you ain't winning today
If you can't move the mountain, grab your shovel and your pail
If the bridge is broken, get your hammer and your nails
You can't control the wind, but you can adjust your sails
No, you can't control the wind, but you can adjust your sails
