a daily anthem

break your neck for some substance

this is temporary sanity

an exercise in vanity

so long to the ordinary day wrought with fictitious tales

of how there's any other way

hold on to anything at all

it's a long way down between the summer and the fall

if i told you that you're everything

would you sing along?

would you sing along?

it's a daily anthem

would you sing my song

at the top of your lungs?

and we'll all sing along

we'll all sing along

it's a half-baked blessing

for the lessons i've learned

never deserved. and we'll all sing along

oh we'll all sing along

now the verses take hold

a gentle undercurrent of more years to grow old

say goodbye to the cold

and try to forgive everything this night. as we sing your daily anthem

would you sing my song

at the top of your lungs?

and we'll all sing along

we'll all sing along

it's a half-baked blessing

for the lessons i've learned

never deserved. and we'll all sing along

we'll all sing along
