A sort of folky pop number....
adversity
coping
Story behind the song
Another lyric that went its own way and the tune just followed it....
Lyrics
From the crowd
F CG CF EmA DP1

There's fear and consternation pounding in your heart
You know that there's another round of trouble ‘bout to start
Its the kind of observation that sets you apart From the crowd
Its waiting to happen, you're teetering on the rim
Is it because of her or just because of him
Either way it seems your chances are slimBut still you're proud

Now’s not the time to turn the other cheek
You know for sure you're not going to be meek
No matter if you think the outlook is bleak Shout aloud
Happiness can be elusive, fortune twists and turnsp1
The case is inconclusive, the heart it always yearns
Look for where the truth is, growing wisdom learns To pierce the clouds

Everything was going fine
On the surface anyway
But he was stringing you another line
To keep you in the play

You know for sure you're not going to be meek
No matter if you think the outlook is bleak
Shout aloud
Happiness can be elusive, fortune twists and turnsp2 (ie different pattern)
The case is inconclusive, the heart it always yearns
Look for where the truth is, growing wisdom learns
To pierce the clouds
