There is more light left in this world
than they will try to sell you
from their pillars of darkness
and stations full of broken channels.
If you stop buying into the hype,
you’ll soon start to see
much more sunshine in your eyes.
Some storms might seem ominous,
even perilous,
as they’re forming
directly above us in the sky,
but such signs
of chaos
have been calculated
toward perfect order
in the end
equation.
So wait it out
or dive right in;
either way,
these winds
they are a-changin’.
