Hope Jungle

House is a wreck Part hospital, part circus But it's where I lay my head Kitchen's a mess A half-eaten jungle But it's where we get fed Remote visits Twenty-four-hour attendance The kind of tests Where atheists thank God So wipe baby's nose and hope Whatever it is, it passes soon Everything takes twice As long as it should Burning the day at both ends I suppose this is What Grandpa meant When he talked of patience Wherever you are, I hope They're singing sweet songs They're singing sweet songs Twenty-four-hour service God, I hope it's worth it I hope my waking life Was a good purchase I know I'm not alone Just isolated We're all in the storm Any time it's raining So wipe Lucy's nose and hope Whatever it is, it passes soon Wherever you are, I hope It gets better soon It gets better soon It gets better soon Wherever you are Wherever you are, I hope They're singing sweet songs
