|
In the house where nobody laughs |
|
And nobody sleeps |
|
In the house where love lies dying |
|
And the shadows creep |
|
A little girl hides shaking |
|
With her hands on her ears |
|
Pushing back the tears |
|
Till the pain disappears |
|
Mama says some ugly words |
|
Daddy pounds the wall |
|
They can fight about their little girl later |
|
Right now they don't care at all |
|
No matter what they say |
|
No matter what they say |
|
No matter what they say |
|
No matter what they say |
|
Everyday people, everyday shame |
|
Everyday promise shot down in flames |
|
Everyday sunrise, another everyday story |
|
Rise from the ashes and blaze with everyday glory |
|
Rise from the ashes and blaze in everyday glory |
|
In the city where nobody smiles |
|
And nobody dreams |
|
In the city where desperation |
|
Drives the bored to extremes |
|
Just one spark of decency |
|
Against a starless night |
|
One glow of hope and dignity |
|
A child can follow the light |
|
No matter what they say |
|
No matter what they say |
|
No matter what they say |
|
No matter what they say |
|
Everyday people, everyday shame |
|
Everyday promise shot down in flames |
|
Everyday sunrise, another everyday story |
|
Rise from the ashes and blaze with everyday glory |
|
Rise from the ashes and blaze in everyday glory |
|
If the future's looking dark |
|
We're the ones who have to shine |
|
If there's no one in control |
|
We're the ones who draw the line |
|
Though we live in trying times |
|
We're the ones who have to try |
|
Though we know that time has wings |
|
We're the ones who have to fly |
|
No matter what they say |
|
No matter what they say |
|
No matter what they say |
|
Rise from the ashes |
|
No matter what they say |
|
And blaze in everyday glory |
