David Cook – A Daily Anthem

Break your neck for some substance

This is temporary sanity, an exercise in vanity

So long, to the ordinary day wrought with fictitious tales

Of how there’s any other way

Hold on to anything at all

It’s a long way down between the summer and the fall

If I told you that you’re everything,

Would you sing along?

Would you sing along?

It’s a daily anthem

Would you sing my song,

At the top of your lungs?

And we’ll all sing along,

We’ll all sing along

It’s a half-baked blessing

For the lessons I’ve learned,

Never deserved.

And we’ll all sing along,

We’ll all sing along

Now the verses take hold,

A gentle undercurrent or more years to grow old

Say goodbye to the cold

And try to begin everything: there’s life

As we sing your daily anthem,

Would you sing my song,

At the top of your lungs?

And we’ll all sing along,

We’ll all sing along

It’s a half-baked blessing

For the lessons I’ve learned,

Never deserved.

And we’ll all sing along,

We’ll all sing along
