Cowards think that you are on your own
That time of year, that end is near, all covers blown
But you were never one to cower, hide in corners, growl and glower
You were one to rise and shine
Rise and shine and greet the day, it will happen anyway
Even cowards say that’s the way
Light the sky and make life fly, it’s your fireworks display
Bang, blue – never really you
Flash, red – often said, but only partly true
Purple – like the rain, the only thing that keeps you sane
is the thing that things will do, turn to hell and back to you
Green no longer, just a little mean
a little mean
You were never on your own
not when little, and you’ve grown
into all you could ever do
simply be you
And the cuts may run so deep
they may even outlive you
but they won’t keep you from sleep
as long as you are true to you
it’s the only thing there was ever left to do
and when the lonely say
you’ve got to see things their way
that’s when you will light
your fireworks display
Bang, blue – never really you
Flash, red – often said, but only partly true
Purple – like the rain, the only thing that keeps you sane
is the thing that things will do, turn to hell and back to you
Green no longer, just a little mean
a little mean
Can you make your mean streak go away
Yup – but not today
You need healing – can’t be done without a feeling
But it can be done
It will be done
Thy will be done
My will be done
Your will be done
Your will be done
We are one.
