Everyday glory

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
