Rush - Everyday Glory Lyrics

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 Rush Lyrics Everyday Glory Lyrics
