With chaos surrounding us
Its easy to lose trust
In society that forgets
What success might mean instead
Conspiracy seems permanent
Pessimism rampant
Conversed with a wiseman
And this is what he said
There's always a silver lining
An upside, don't you forget
What even is bad timing
Misfortune our greatest fortune yet
With this new perspective I gathered
I lifted my head up high
So what if my finances shatter
So what if tomorrow I die
Maybe there's a reason
Maybe this will help us grow
Maybe if we don't worry so much
We can come to know
There's always a silver lining
An upside, don't you forget
What even is bad timing
Misfortune our greatest fortune yet
More sleep less commute
Ample time to resolute
Less murder less rape
Less drunk driving there's no debate
Less work more play
Loved ones simple pleasures make our day
Cleaner water healthier earth
Virus silver linings show their worth
There's always a silver lining
An upside don't you forget
What even is bad timing
Misfortune our greatest fortune yet
There's always a silver lining
An upside don't you forget
What even is bad timing
Misfortune our greatest fortune yet
