I feel bereft today
The sun and the warmth have gone away
Another winter's day
Another couldn't stay

Nothing keeps me from crying out
I'm crying out in vain
I keep thinking about all the years
And all the fears and pain
I don't want to see another funeral anyway
But today, today, gone away

This is not a funeral song
It's not for when it's all gone wrong
It's to say 'hey, I'm alive'

It's about the days to come
Hoping we can have some fun
And to celebrate our lives

This is our discontent
Our disconnected lives
These are the days we've spent
The moments of our lives

Nothing keeps me from crying out
I'm crying out in vain
I keep thinking about all the years
And all the fears and pain
I don't want to see another funeral anyway
But today, today, gone away
