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
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

"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 "
you know sometimes parents just shouted whatever they want in front of their child n don't care what their child feeling. always taught that they care about their child. but in the end only care about theirself.
neil nailed in the song what happen perfectly.
this song is perfect for people who have face what happen if their parents get divorce or they cheated each other. i always give this song to my friends or junior who face family problem:
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
A blaze of everyday glory*
note *man's everyday glory, will one day become a blaze when our MAKER we meet
It's the essence of ... we are the only ones who can make things better. We can only depend on ourselves to make tomorrow a better place. We can't give up until things are right.
"Though we live in trying times, we're the ones who have to try."
Though there are thousands of amazing Rush quotes, this is the one that gets me every time. Thus, the namesake of my username.
