Everyday Glory letra

In the house where nobody laughs
And nobody sleeps
In the house where love lies dying
And the shadows creep

A little girl hides shaking
With her hands on her ears
Pushing back the tears
Till the pain disappears

Mama says some ugly words
Daddy pounds the wall
They can fight about their little girl later
Right now they don't care at all

No matter what they say
No matter what they say
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 and blaze with everyday glory
Rise from the ashes and blaze in 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 a starless night
One glow of hope and dignity
A child can follow the light

No matter what they say
No matter what they say
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 and blaze with everyday glory
Rise from the ashes and blaze in everyday glory

If the future's looking dark
We're the ones who have to shine
If there's no one in control
We're the ones who draw the line

Though we live in trying times
We're the ones who have to try
Though we know that time has wings
We're the ones who have to fly

No matter what they say
No matter what they say
No matter what they say
Rise from the ashes
No matter what they say
And blaze in everyday glory
