And of course I realize
That we’re a long way from it
But what better reason to start runnin’?
...
There are no stories told in a vacuum
There is no prophecy lighting our way
There is just a lot of darkness to be afraid of
So it’s a good thing we are not afraid
There is no Superman in that phone booth
There is no rewarding our faith
There is no one who can save us
So it’s a good thing we don’t need to be saved
There are no starships in low earth orbit
No aliens to save us from ourselves
There is no voice willing to speak for us
So it’s a good thing we know how to yell!
There is no chosen one, no destiny, no fate
There’s no such thing as magic
There is no light at the end of this tunnel
So it’s a good thing we brought matches.
