Here is one for all us others
And all other "usses" too
Each night the vacant moon makes way
For the rising rays to prove
That a clear thread runs between us
Making music as we move
Meaning it'll be okay
And we'll survive today--this time...
This time we will survive
This one's for all the stubborn--
All resistors trudging on--
Through the wailing winds of winter
And the fiercest summer storms
For all self-doubting fathers
Staring at the newly born.
Silently they pray
That the world'll be ok--it MIGHT
But they will be alright
And here's to the forgotten
We were cut from the same cloth
For all the mixed-up young ones crying
While their lovers sleep it off
Keep your heads above the water
And your hearts float to the top
You're not dying today
Though it might feel that way
Still...
Know that you'll be okay.
And all other "usses" too
Each night the vacant moon makes way
For the rising rays to prove

Know that you'll be okay.
