a song of cautionary advice: lowering your expectations means fewer disappointments.
lyrics
Faith not Hope
Have faith, faith, that things won’t go your way
And you won’t be disappointed when they don’t
If the cards ain't in your favor don’t just fold the hand you’re dealt
Raise the bet play the bluff, fate is for fools
Sure miracles are nice when they come around
But miracles don’t happen on a day to daily basis
So don’t waste your time with wishes, they’re just Hollywood cliches
No don’t sit around a wondering what may or could have been
What you see is what you got; better learn to make it work
Sure miracles are nice when they come around
So have faith not hope, and you won’t be disappointed
When things don’t go your way and they usually won’t
Keep your expectations grounded, cause life can let you down
So have faith not hope, hope’s over-rated
Sure miracles are nice when they come around
But how many times have I walked through the valley
Unharmed, unscathed, does that mean there was no danger?
Or was someone watching out for me for threats I didn’t see?
Maybe miracles mean living in God’s continuous care.
