Lyrics This Will Be Our Year - Nerina Pallot

This Will Be Our Year

I can live with my old friend disappointment
I can live with things not as they ought to be
I can snatch a sorry crumb of comfort
From the jaws of what might have been victory
I’ll make do, like everyone
I put my head upon the pillow when the day is done
I make do, don’t we all?
I hope we’re headed for a future and not headed for a fall
I don’t know what this world’s about
But this will be our year
I don’t know why I’m singing out
But this will be our year
Day by day, brick by brick we’ll build it
Make a life, make something to call our own
Just enough to keep the wolf at bay
Just enough so we don’t feel so alone
I’ll make do, like everyone
What the point regretting all the things you’ve done?
We make do, that’s what it takes
You keep on keeping on and you learn from your mistakes
I don’t know what this world’s about
But this will be our year
I don’t know why I’m singing out
But this will be our year
Hold on now, this will be our year
This will be our year
Come on now, this will be our year
I make do, like everyone
I put my head down on the pillow when the day is done
We make done, that’s what it takes
You keep on keeping on and you learn from your mistakes
I don’t know what this world’s about
But this will be our year
I don’t know why I’m singing out
But this will be our year
I don’t know what this world’s about
But this will our year
I don’t know why I’m singing out
But this will be our year
Come on now, this will be our year
Hold on now, this will be our year
