I'm walking Kind of off the road And I'm dragging Such a heavy load And I'm hoping That someone will figure me out Then tides come Over unannounced Like a tidal wave Filled with anger and doubt And I'm searching Trying to figure it out How will tomorrow be when I'm faced with this disease How can I fit it into my life The way that I want it to be? Bit by bit I'm going to make it fit I'm going to live my life and be free I'll accept what I've got Like it or not And I'll try to let people see I'm not afraid I'm not running away Bit by bit I'm going to make it fit Just beautiful They say that the girls don't show what the boys all show Well I'm going to let them see That the girls are alive And we will survive We're going to let them see Bit by bit we're going to make it fit We're going to live our lives and be free We'll accept what we've got Like it or not And we'll try to let people see We're not afraid We're not running away Bit by bit we're going to make it fit Just beautiful I'm walking Kind of off the road But I've got friends To help me with the load And I can tell you I'm starting to figure it out

Little boy Feels great Blew out eight candles On his birthday cake Kids at school Run out to play He'll be first batter up If he shows up that day And he says I won't shatter I won't break I'll make you so proud if I can just play If I just show up I know I'll pass Please mamma I'm not made of glass Little boy Turned 16 Spends his money on gasoline Gets in his car Drives away Before he goes he will always say I won't shatter I won't break I'll make you so proud if I can just play If I just show up I know I'll pass Please mamma I'm not made of glass Before you know it He's 42 There's a lot of things he's been through He made the team Drives off to work Buttons up the buttons on His blue collared shirt He didn't shatter He didn't break He made us so proud when he would play He showed up And he passed He's proven He's not made of glass

Gargantuan sky Oh Gargantuan sky Oh Gargantuan sky Oh Gargantuan sky There are no weapons on our flag Our lives are patriotic As do unto others Proof through the night Crisis crisis burning bright There ain’t no selfish gene Red rover red rover Desire free and unmuzzled Just ask the falling leaves As the silence breathes Pushed and pulled into oblivion We got messiah we got messiah now Earth in one hand a fist with the other Knowing what we mean Curved as ecstasy Round the corner into the guiding light Gargantuan sky Oh Gargantuan sky Oh Gargantuan sky Oh Gargantuan sky Oh Oh
