We don't have to be glad to be content
We don't have to be less to feel more
We don't have to drink when we're sore
We don't have to starve during lent.
And she shines because she's a superstar
And the inquisitive world wonders how she got so far
And the blame goes to the war
The result - to us all.
I can't really think for a reason to laugh
I can't be one when I feel half
Cut from me is somewhere
Not seeing me from over there.
A lily can float
Without the impulse to gloat
To the heavy set rock
That, sinking, joins the flock
Of sheep fallen on the riverbed.
I don't have to do a thing
I don't even have to think
If I choose not to.
So I refuse to bend
I refuse my hard-earned glory to lend
Nobody should be hell-sent
Because they resented being led.
And nobody has to be whole to be happy
That's the truth turned sappy
And the world is not exactly round
I'm telling you, we're all Heaven-bound.
