lyrics

Pie in the sky – Vortex Afternoon / Danie Nel
© 2023 – Music & Lyrics: Daniel J. Nel

It could be the last straw
that breaks the camel's back
It could be the lifeline
that pulls you from the edge

Then you shout
Why carry on?
I'm not standing strong

It's not a pie in the sky if your hope comes alive
Just shine your light in the darkest night
But it's a pie in the sky if you give up the fight
Just hold on tight
It'll be alright

It's tough to tell
so tough to understand
when all your effort drains like water into sand
Is the effort worth it
or will you let it go
to live in regret of dreams now void of hope

When you shout
Why carry on?
I'm not standing strong

It's not a pie in the sky if your hope comes alive
Just shine your light in the darkest night
But it's a pie in the sky if you give up the fight

Just hold on tight
It'll be alright x2

It's not a pie in the sky if your hope comes alive
Just shine your light in the darkest night
But it's a pie in the sky if you give up the fight

Just hold on tight
It'll be alright x2
