One song
Glory
One song
Before I go
Glory
One song to leave behind
Find
One song
One last refrain
Glory
From the pretty boy front man
Who wasted opportunity

One song
He had the world at his feet
Glory
In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl

Find
Glory
Beyond the cheap colored lights
One song
Before the sun sets
Glory
On another empty life
Time flies
Time dies
Glory
One blaze of glory
One blaze of glory
Glory

Find
Glory
In a song that rings true
Truth like a blazing fire
An eternal flame
Find
One song
A song about love
Glory
From the soul of a young man
A young man

Find
The one song
Before the virus takes hold
Glory
Like a sunset
One song
To redeem this empty life
Time flies
And then
No need to endure anymore
Time dies

I was a daydream
Quiet and unseen
I lived in stories
But inside I kept a mystery
I was a starling
Nobody’s darling
Flying in perfect circles just for company

And now I’m ready
And now I’m ready
And now I’m ready to be extraordinary

A midnight airplane
A window glowing
I know I am another sparkle in the sky
I shine uncovered
Still undiscovered
But you might see me in the corner of your eye

And now I’m ready
And now I’m ready
And now I’m ready to be extraordinary

Wakin’ up to a week of Sundays
I am my own parade
Stoppin’ off at a sidewalk cafe
Wind is playin’ in the trees
Kicking up confetti leaves
Seems as if it’s all to say

And now I’m ready
Yeah now I’m ready
And now I’m ready to be extraordinary

A snippet:

I say to you, this morning, that if you have never found something so dear and precious to you that you will die for it, then you aren’t fit to live.

You may be 38 years old, as I happen to be, and one day, some great opportunity stands before you and calls upon you to stand for some great principle, some great issue, some great cause. And you refuse to do it because you are afraid.

You refuse to do it because you want to live longer. You’re afraid that you will lose your job, or you are afraid that you will be criticized or that you will lose your popularity, or you’re afraid that somebody will stab or shoot or bomb your house. So you refuse to take a stand.

Well, you may go on and live until you are ninety, but you are just as dead at 38 as you would be at ninety.

And the cessation of breathing in your life is but the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit.

You died when you refused to stand up for right.

You died when you refused to stand up for truth.

You died when you refused to stand up for justice.
