Half The Battle

Well I guess we've seen hard times, who has not
 I guess we were looking for some things we never got.
 Half of the battle is ending the fight
 The best of the other part is doing what's right.
 Seems like everyday I'm trying to make do
 And every night is one more to get through
 The center of the universe should come as no surprise
 It stumbles down the alleyways of compromise.
 So let's forget about winning for a while
 Let's take everything we owe and pay it with a smile.
 The long days of summer won't return
 Our pages of history are fading as they turn.
 Seems like everyday I'm trying to make do
 And every night is one more to get through
 What's the point of promising if believing has no pain?
 We pay the price; we pay it twice and pay again.
 I guess we've been lucky; some have not
 We measure the gains and loss but who knows what they've got.
 Half of the battle is ending the fight
 The best of the other part is doing what's right.
