Personal Renaissance

Somewhere tonight there's someone sleeping

Better than they've ever slept before.

Somewhere somebody's fighting a war.

Somewhere a man is taking the first kiss

From the mouth of his bride.

Somewhere someone just got divorced.

To the joyful, to the blue, listen to me once,

Let me tell you about my personal renaissance.

Somewhere between hello and goodbye,

Let's knock the hourglass over on its side,

And hold on to the ones we love, forever in our hearts.

There is a peace inside of me,

Oh, sweet Jesus, in spite of anything,

No matter what is and what is not, as long as you are.

Somewhere tonight someone would give so much

Just to see a friendly face.

Somewhere someone just needs some space.

Somewhere tonight a sad somebody

Wants to take their life away.

While somebody on a lonely hospital bed

Would give anything for just another day.
