Original version

Life is full of surprises, full of ups and downs

And so to have a silver lining, first there must be a cloud

Bill and Ben the twins work together all day long

They sometimes disagree how things are done

They get down in the dumps

If things they do don't work out just as planned

But if at first you don't succeed then understand

There's no sense in worrying if things start going wrong

Obstacles can all be overcome

But even Bill and Ben both agree that in the end

If you never lose hope, you're sure to cope and carry on

Every cloud is silver-lined — even when it rains

So don't get too downhearted, as things are bound to change

All you've gotta do is wear a smile and you will find — your sun will shine

So if you've got a job to do, make sure you do it well

Arguing will get you nowhere fast

When Bill says "Push" — and Ben says "Pull" — they always get it wrong

But never lose hope, you're sure to cope and carry on

Every cloud is silver-lined - even when it rains

So don't get too downhearted, as things are bound to change

All you've gotta do is wear a smile and you will find — your sun will shine

Everybody makes mistakes — it happens all the time

You should never lose sight of your goal

Just like Bill and Ben — things will work out in the end

If you never lose hope, you're sure to cope and carry on

When you're feeling down it doesn't help to wear a frown

Never lose hope, you're sure to cope and you can carry on

Every cloud is silver-lined to help you on your way

As long as there's hope — it'll help you cope

You must never lose hope — it'll help you on the way

Storytime with Thomas

Every cloud is silver-lined — even when it rains

So don't get too downhearted, as things are bound to change

All you've gotta do is wear a smile and you will find — your sun will shine

Every cloud is silver-lined to help you on your way

You must never lose hope — it'll help you on the way
