Quite hopeful and optimistic
That's my usual frame of mind
But this year takes the biscuit
And most people that I've spoken to are probably not gonna miss it
before I go any further this probably sounds familiar
But what can I say I grew up on Mike Skinner
I'm from the Streets too, not many dry eyes in sight, can't believe it's come to this
And when you come from concrete you learn to count blessings
As days go by you get numb to the stresses
And the pressures

hope you're Watching over us
hope you're watching over us
In you I put my hope and trust
Cos This has really broken us
hope you're watching over us

Had family lost some
Had finance lost some
Had jobs but I lost one
And Then I lost one more so I'm looking around
But they ain't got no more
In deep lost sight of the shore
Life took a lot and I ain't got no more
Tryna stay positive and stop those thoughts
But it's claustrophobic since they Lock those doors
And I'm still with my bro's in arms
Get's tough but we're holding on
And we kept it in but now we open up
Cos it gets hard for a lonely heart
I Need a reason for living
Can't all be bad news
But I'm learning to play this position
But if we want rhythm I guess we need blues

hope you're Watching over us
hope you're watching over us
In you I put my hope and trust
Cos This has really broken us
hope you're watching over us
