Every day, he says it’ll be alright
That’s where we are now
Deep in sh!t
I look into his eyes, and I see
the sadness, the fear
the hope, the prayers
will we make it?
Deep in debt
He looks into my eyes, and he sees
the desperation, the loss
the fatigue, the faith
will it change?
Every day, he says it’ll be alright
that’s where we are now
in this dark valley
we desperately want to get out of
We are at that place
the one between a rock and a bottom
But this man still dreams. He speaks
of wealth when we have nothing to eat
talks of good things like we deserve them
walks tall when all I feel is cast out
This man still believes in a future
that shines amidst this gloomy present
still makes plans for a time I doubt will come
comforts me while he’s broken and torn
He forgets all his troubles
when I can’t stop thinking of mine
they’re already over for him
and the future is right here
And I feel safe with him
This spirit, this grit
this man, this reality
This is the man
the man I follow
