Just for one night can we pretend the worst is over? 
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? 

 [bad word] ]
If we question our impermanence 
We may not live forever 
But if the [bad word] 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? 

 [bad word] ]
If we question our impermanence 
We may not live forever 
But if the [bad word] up tomorrow 
Why should we hope for better?
