Does the light of your soul seem to be flickering in such wretched times
Is your heart broken by the morning news and your world wrecked by someone else's crimes
So the clock strikes closer to midnight in these ever-worsening darkest hours
To many of the ones that could make things better are more concerned with amassing and abusing their powers
Realize that it's up to those that need to disconnect themselves from the ever-publicized news
And find that soft distraction to reenergize and beat back that case of the blues
Cry not yourself to sleep anymore
Talking to someone may help you smile behind that closed door
Inside the world of man, today time is shorter than ever before
Only having disgust for the world will drive you plum insane
Never should you forget that dancing in the rain will help wash away your pain
