I can live with my old friend disappointment
I can live with things not as they ought to be
I can snatch a sorry crumb of comfort from the joys of what might have been victory

I make do like everyone
Put my head upon the pillow when the day is done
I make do
Don't we all hope we're headed for a future
Am I headed for a fall?

I don't know what this world's about
But this will be our year
I don't know why I'm singin' out
But this will be our year

Day by day, brick by brick we build it make a life
Make something to call your own
Just enough to keep the wolf at bay
Just enough so you don't feel so alone

I make do like everyone
What's the point regretting all the things we've done?
We make do, that's what it takes
Yeah, you keep on keepin' on and you learn from your mistakes

I don't know what this world's about
But this will be our year
I don't know why I'm singin' out
But this will be our year

Come on now
This will be our year
This will be our year

I make do like everyone
I put my head down on the pillow when the day is done
We make do, that's what it takes
Yeah, you keep on keepin' on and you learn from your mistakes

I don't know what this world's about
But this will be our year
I don't know why I'm singin' out
But this will be our year

I don't know what this world's about
But this will be our year
I don't know why I'm singin' out
But this will be our year

Come on now
This will be our year
This will be our year
This will be our year
