From the recording Jax Studio Live

Lyrics

It gets hard to see the truth
From the dark side of the moon
But there are days when the light rises up from the horizon
And God, it’s beautiful
Somewhere in between the dream
Of waking life and worrying
I still know there’s plenty to be thankful for
And I, I won’t let my mind rule me

‘Cause I’m a hopeful man
Don’t try to change me
I’m a hopeful man
You’ll never break me
I’m a hopeful man
I’m a hopeful man

When I’m tangled in the strings
That tie me to reality
I say a prayer that the peace I seek is somewhere out there
And I’ll find it eventually

‘Cause I’m a hopeful man
Don’t try to change me
I’m a hopeful man
You’ll never break me
I’m a hopeful man
I’m a hopeful man
I’m a hopeful man

It gets hard to see the truth
From the dark side of the moon

But I’m a hopeful man
Don’t try to change me
I’m a hopeful man
You’ll never break me
I’m a hopeful man
I’m a hopeful man
I’m a hopeful man
