| 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 |
