Fin.

I had hoped you′d find your way to this piece of music

And that would mean, oh, my friend, we have made it to the end

I hope inside this you've found something beautiful

She had hoped you′d make it to the 17th song

And if to dance or then to cry, or to just sing along

We hope inside this you've found something beautiful

My complete gratitude for taking time out of your day

To hear the melodies and words we have to play and to say

And I wanted to finish this album like this

With a musical hug and an orchestral kiss

Ah-ha, H-A-P-P-I-E-R T-I-M-E-S (happier times)

I wish you the best, only joy in this life that we tread

And now I'd like to leave you with an unapologetically

Dramatic and powerful, this last metaphorical summary

For it′s life′s guarantee that we're all going to die

Come rain or come storms, we′ve got one little life

The sun has promised to shine all four beautiful seasons

Even if we can't see it

Hope must always exist, is just above the clouds

To conclude there, and so it goes

And as it says on the tin, in the winds, "This May Contain Hope"

If you didn′t find it, then might I advise it

I'm asking polite that if hope didn′t find you, my friend

We advise you to listen again

Thank you for listening, until next time

Lots of love, RAYE
