lyrics
Staring down the barrel of one more day,
Learning how the breathe again is the only way.
You don't know me and I don't know you,
But it's been a hard year and I know what you're going through.
I've been learning how to read and how to walk;
Let me tell you what this story is all about:
The animals are singing their morning song
As everybody glimpses a brand new dawn.
You don't have to fear holding it together through the storm you weather.
When you feel the need to blend in with the others, show me your true colors; maybe that's a start.
Down in the lobby at 5am,
Waiting for our lives to take us back again.
Save your speech for your other friends;
Words are pretty hard for me to comprehend.
California sends us on our way
Back into the graces of every day.
You don't have to fear holding it together through the storm you weather.
When you feel the need to blend in with the others, show me your true colors; maybe that's a start.
