Everything's so hard to comprehend We ask ourselves how it's gonna end Thunder roars and the grey skies linger Cover our eyes, but peer through our fingers

We're yelling at the clouds and at the birds and at the trees We're longing for the way that we believe it ought to be But all there is for looking forward to Is the things that happen, and the things we do

Billions crawl across the planet's face Ten or so are looking on from space Centuries of building and a second of destruction While screens are flashing with today's instructions

Perhaps you still believe that it's all out of your control And you shouldn't keep on digging when you're standing in a hole You know that's just another point of view When there's things that happen, and the things we do

And you're snoozing the alarm so you can spend the day in bed Embracing the duvet and the existential dread

But together we can turn another page Gold and silver set against the beige Sharing jokes and stories, express our emotions Doing it all without boiling any oceans

And even if your train of thought has suffered a delay You can take a little step and then at least you're on your way So maybe there's a job for me and you With the things that happen, and the things we do
