Everyday Glory - Rush

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, 'til the pain disappears

Mama says some ugly words

Daddy pounds on the wall

They can fight about their little girl later

But right now, they don’t care at all

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--

A blaze of 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 the starless night

One glow of hope and dignity

A child can follow the light

No matter what they say

No matter what they say…

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
