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
Till the pain disappears Mama says some ugly words Daddy pounds the wall They can fight about their little girl later
Right now they don't care at all No matter what they say No matter what they say 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 and blaze with everyday glory Rise from the ashes and blaze in 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 a starless night One glow of hope and dignity A child can follow the light No matter what they say No matter what they say
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 and blaze with everyday glory Rise from the ashes and blaze in everyday glory If the future's darklooking 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
No matter what they say No matter what they say No matter what they say Rise from the ashes No matter what they say And blaze in everyday glory
