From the recording Times Like These
Times Like These
(Phillips)
Background: This song was inspired by some personal tough times and challenges I have seen people facing around the State. A stand out feature of the Aussie Spirit is how people stick together when times are tough, knowing that the sands will shift and better days are coming - Nik Phillips
Lyrics
CH
Times like these we just got to stick together
Times like these will come our way
Its all shifting sands, it ain’t gonna last forever
Times like these we do the best we can
Can’t control the sunlight in the morning
Can’t control the rain that doesn’t come
Tragedy can strike without a warning
Sometimes all that you can do is turn and run
Thought by now I’ld have found myself some answers
Thought by now I’ld have learnt from my mistakes
All I know is that life is something precious
Gotta dig right in a give it what it takes
CH
Can’t believe the beauty of the silence
When you hold me late at night because you care
Like a candle left alone upon the window,
You’re the flame that let’s me burn while breathing air
Wish I gave you more than I could offer
Breaks my heart you were hurt by my mistakes
All I know is that love is something precious
That’s why I dig right in and give it what it takes
CH
I believe in a forever
I think there’s so much more than life
So happy that we can stand together
yeah
Can’t control the outcome of tomorrow
Can’t control the way we end today
Only thing I know is in this moment
You’re the one thing that will never fade away
Thought by now I’ld have found myself some answers
Thought by now I’ld have learnt from my mistakes
All I know is that life is something precious
Gotta dig right in a give it what it takes
