Rush - Everyday Glory

Album:

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 said some ugly words
Daddy pounds 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
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
Drive 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
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 ablaze
Of everyday glory.

If the futures looking dark
We're the ones who have to shine
If there's no one control
We're the one's 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
Rise from the ashes
No matter what they say
Everyday glory.
