Gain ground

The time isn’t ripe and I’m sure it’s down but not out

There’s a lighthouse in the distance 

and while there’s life there is hope and love

Never thought I’d love to hear that sound

I want to gain ground  

There’s a smile on your face and I’m sure it’s down but not out

There’s a candle in the church 

And I see that there is life and hope

Never thought I’d love to hear that sound

I want to gain ground  

Once I was a boaster an unmitigated dunce

I Know it’s a hanging matter I will be bound

I don’t wanna lose ground

The Time isn’t ripe  and I’m sure there is life and  hope

Never thought I’d love to hear that words

I want to gain ground  

I want to gain I want to gain  I want to gain  ground
