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
