Lyrics
Words and music: emily saliers
Some will strut and some will fret See this an hour on the stage Others will not but they'll sweat In their hopelessness in their rage We're all the same the men of anger and the women of the page
They published your diary and that's how I got to know you Key to the room of your own and a mind without end And here's a young girl on a kind of a telephone line through time And the voice at the other end comes like a long lost friend
So I know I'm alright life will come and life will go Still I feel it's alright cause I just got a letter to my soul When my whole life is on the tip of my tongue Empty pages for the no longer young The apathy of time laughs in my face You said, "each life has its place"
The hatches were battened the thunderclouds rolled and the critics stormed The battle surrounded the white flag of your youth If you need to know that you weathered the storm of cruel mortality A hundred years later I'm sitting here living proof
So you know you're alright life will come and life will go Still you feel it's alright someone'll get a letter to your soul When your whole life is on the tip of your tongue Empty pages for the no longer young The apathy of time laughed in your face Did you hear me say, "each life has its place"
The place where you hold me dark in a pocket of truth The moon had swallowed the sun and the light of the earth And so it was for you when the river eclipsed your life And sent your soul like a message in a bottle to me and it was my rebirth
Emily: So we know we're alright Though life will come and life will go Still you'll feel it's alright Someone'll get a letter to your soul Then you know you're alright Then you feel you're alright And you hear dry your eyes And you know it's alright And you hear dry your eyes And you know it's alright And it's alright Amy: Alright Though life will come and life will go Alright Someone gets your soul When my whole life is on the tip of my tongue Empty pages for the no longer young You said Each life has it's place You said Each life has it's place
