lyrics

Is it Inauguration Day?
I can’t envision much will change
New slate of faces, same old plight
If we’re all beggars anyway,
why is struggle always ascertained
as proof of failure and not of drive?

What brand of free will would proclaim,
that "If you want to live, then pay”
and hand the cost on down the line?
My brother’s father passed away
and a kid I knew from second grade
would always cry at Christmastime

I didn’t want to ask why -
had to assume they’d be fine,
healed by the passing of time
and a little more solicitude and care
It’s easier unaware

But I am here and I am breathing
Will not grovel though I’m kneeling
Don’t you pull this plug till I give my word

I am here if you have motioned
to abandon every person
strong enough to seek help when they’re hurt
I am here and I have meaning
or I could if you would just let me live
Don’t pull this plug till I give my word
Not until you've received my accord

So now it’s just another day
I can’t envision much will change,
but see you on the other side

(How long to sing this song on and on...)
