Maggie's Song

On another bitter morning
You're still waiting for a sign
I was always selling nothing
An offer you couldn't decline

But I will smile and say that everything is fine
It's not the first time or last I'll use that line
Stick it out or leave it all behind
And then tomorrow comes and with it another lie!

When you go
Through the storm
And still come out wanting more
Then you'll know
As I do
There's no justice but there's truth in all you've seen
You just had to be looking

Please go softly with your answer
I can't bear to hear the sound
Of another dawn defending
My desire to live out loud there is no reason

There's no blame to why I cry
Once in a cage a bird can still remember sky
If it tried to do more with its life
Than just fly low enough so to survive

When you go
Through the storm
And still come out wanting more
Then you'll know
As I do
There's no justice but there's truth in all you've seen
You just had to be looking
