lyrics

Well there's a smile brewing on your face
In just a matter of time
To counterweight all the complaints permeating our lives
And it's a wonder that anybody could keep it straight
All the while
And the gift that you've given to everyone
Was returned in your child
You see the streets that you face each morning
Are the same as ours
Everybody's just trying to drive to the top in their cars
And somebody will run you down every now and then
But we're all right here to help you get back up again

Because those aren't as lonely when you're walking along
You know everybody finds some hope in a song
And the limits you destroy every day haven't gone unseen
And sometimes when life seems like it's going too fast
And there's not enough time to make those memories last
You can put it all down and pull it back later on your screen

And when the kids have gone home for the day
And you're by yourself
Well there's a million of us waiting around
To be your someone else
And when your golden years are the only ones
To look forward to
And it's harder for the seventies to recognize you
You know your clock won't strike on the darkest day
And the historical figures have paved their way
For the sudden culmination of a wide exaggeration
Of the notion you'd be coming around one day to save us
And the darkest nights will be brighter than a northern star
And the world will fall right to its knees knowing who you are
They'll know who you are

You always catch us when we're dancing right behind your feet
Come bearing jewels and witness, make us feel so sweet
And the magic calling from your words
We know what you meant
And all your calls out to us are positively chilling
We could shout "Hey, earring" from the tallest building
And we could go forever but it wouldn't even make a dent

You know you strike no fear in us but only warmth
And every moment holding onto you we're just reborn
In a land of fallen grace
You've found a way to bring back the heart
And on the Tao of conversation we can hear you talking
One who sparks imagination even while speed walking
When the bull comes calling they'll know
How you've done your part

And it's the last train back to far away you're getting on
But all the while for your travels
We'll always float around your song
And I just want you to understand that we're all proud of you

We're all so proud of you
