I arrived here kickin and screamin
The day that I took the stage
I went searchin for some kind of meanin
Like words lookin for a page
Came up empty and full of worry
That nothing could cover the pain
But these songs and stories began unfolding
Like an umbrella in the rain
I want to write you a sad sad song
That I hope will make you smile
And hen we could pass it along
We're only here for a little while
Strike up a chord, Strike up the band
And we'll play out the lessons learned
Strike up a match then it's three strikes your out
And Depression will take its turn
We been trying to find our way through the darkness of our minds
Well I'll get our names in the paper someday
I pray not before our time
I want to sing you a sad sad song
That I wrote to make you smile
And then we could pass it along
We're only here for a little while
When I was young all I did was take
I've been trying harder to give
For so long I was living to die
Now I'm dying just to live
Now I will leave here kickin and screamin
The day that I take my rest
But I got a whole lot more in me
Till the end of my self lives
Still time to sing us this sad sad song
I'll of hope to make us smile
And then we could pass it along
We're only here for a little while
