Southern State

I've heard, "Why cry for a moment
When you could weep for a lifetime?"
But I say it's nice just to hang your head
Even just for a little while

But we can't sit here and cry our day away
Face as red as a southern state
We've got to look past the hopelessness and dismay
We've got work to do
But I've got work today

This is a burning world
But at least I'm breathing
This is a burning world
At least I'm awake
