just for one night can we pretend that this is normal just for tonight can we pretend that nothing s wrong can we forget that we are tired and broken tonight can we act like we re still strong just for one night can we pretend the worst is over just for tonight can we allow ourselves to breathe can we let die the flames that burn around us tonight can we live without disease if we question our impermanence we may not live forever but if the sun comes up tomorrow why should we hope for better just for one night can we pretend that we are happy just for tonight can we leave behind our grief can we ignore the storm clouds in the distance tonight can we rely on our belief just for one night can we laugh at our misfortune just for tonight can we sing away the fear can we let go of everything that we ve lost tonight can we hold the future near if we question our impermanence we may not live forever but if the sun comes up tomorrow why should we hope for better
