Here's the Thing

There are demons in this world
Who will take your total worth
Kick you when you're down until you break
And then you hear them walk away
Proclaiming that they have saved the day

And when things can't get much worse
Then you know they will of course
When it crashes down you'll be all alone
There won't be no one to atone
Or anyone to drive you home

Here's the thing
It does no good to cry about it
Here's the thing
Sometimes you have to fight it out
I said change comes when one person stands up despite all the rest
Here's the thing, life's a ring, love is king

If there's anything I've learned
Love and fear have to be earned
Anything between cannot be controlled
We will all be given roles
But they won't reflect what's in our souls

And it could take all of your pride
Trying to get out what's inside
It's so tempting just to enjoy the ride
But when you feel what's genuine
Anything less just wastes your time

Here's the thing
It does no good to cry about it
Here's the thing
Sometimes you have to fight it out
Change comes when one person stands up and inspires all the rest

Here's the thing
We're human beings
The truth can sting
But still we sing
That love is king
Yeah it's the thing
The joy it brings
Hope from it springs
But life's a ring
Back and forth swing
The yang and ying
And still we sing
Here' the thing
