let's pretend

let's pretend we have no problems

like everything will turn out right

just for today, we will live life

like we're a stick of dynamite

all this joy lies out before us

on this very special day

where we pretend we have no worries

like everything will be okay

leave your troubles till tomorrow

trouble will always be at hand

for once, you can take the day off

you always do the best you can

so don't fret about the future

you'll never know what you will find

better days are coming someday

so you can ease your worried mind

I know this may be hard for you

you've always lived like you're afraid

thinking about what could happen

scared that you'll get in the way

I'm here to tell you you're mistaken

that life could be your closest friend

you may think there's only bad times

but I know good times will come again

so let's pretend we have no problems

just for one day in our lives

we can imagine all is good now

that's how most of us survive

take a look over the horizon

there's something new for you to see

and let's pretend that it's all better

and that's the way it will be
