about

To my parents.

lyrics

When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”

It is well (It is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul

***

Oh, I always liked a good melody
One that echoes like an old broken bell
But I sing at the expense of the truth
You see, my soul hasn’t been doing too well

But I’m bringing the optimist back
Every dinosaur and astronaut book
I’ll live for trips to the zoo and the chance to tell you
That I want back the old outlook

So whatever matter my lot, I’ll try to keep a good attitude
And whatever I said, just know that I’ll always love you

See, I’m standing up the devil I know
For a blind date with the devil I don’t
Know a thing about life or basic biology
But once I tried to thread my own history
Like a bird in the sky, and I cut my own airflow
‘Cause aren’t we all more precious than sparrows?

And Dad, you’re my hero
And Mom, you’re my definition of love
