a friend called today, said he lost his wife
she was only 52 and still so full of life
and the way his voice cracked across the line
raised the hair on my neck and for a moment it stopped time

and a friend called today, she's in an awful spot
she's scared of going through with it, it's not what she was taught
and the way her voice cracked across the line
usually I'm full of advice, I had no idea what to say this time

well she's optimistic about the future,
but how long will it take to get there? I'm not sure.
a Herculean task, staying on the right track
moving forward, while always sliding back.

and a friend called today, he's got a broken heart
they'll have to go deep inside and tear him apart
and the way his voice cracked across the line
when he told us that the doctors caught it just in time

and he's optimistic about the future,
but how long will it take to get there? I'm not sure.
a Herculean task, staying on the right track
moving forward, while always sliding back.

and we're all flying on instruments
no one's got a crystal ball
the weather's bad, the sky is dark,
and I can't see at all

we judge our past on the greatest hits
looking back on it we only see the best bits
but we judge the present on how it's going now
but we're in the forest still, we cannot look ahead
to see our way out

and I'm optimistic about the future,
but how long will it take to get there? I'm not sure.
a Herculean task, staying on the right track
moving forward, while always sliding back.
