Lyrics
When Your Ship Comes In ©2026 Ronald G Brown
If the world's had its way with you far too long
If your story's endless give and no take
And you do your best with good days goin' wrong
I say you're due to finally catch a break
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Cause rivers rise, and then recede
Cuts heal, after they bleed
Storms roll in, they come and go
There's hope in tomorrow
Soak it up, take it in
Don't let the hard days win
And live it up when your ship comes in
If you think your best times are way back when
I'd say Good-time Charlie hasn't seen his last
They say you can't get it back again
I say get in line for another blast
To hell with the past
To hell with the past
Cause rivers rise, and then recede
Cuts heal, after they bleed
Storms roll in, they come and go
There's hope in tomorrow
Soak it up, take it in
Don't let the hard days win
And live it up when your ship comes in
Life is all about change
Nothin' ever stays the same
Never settle, pedal to the metal, never give in
Cause rivers rise, and then recede
Cuts heal, after they bleed
Storms roll in, they come and go
There's hope in tomorrow
Soak it up, take it in
Don't let the hard days win
No, don't let the hard days win
Then live it up... party down and let it all out...
When your ship comes in
