And I here I am once again

Singing as the world crumbles.

I'm stomache-ache-laughing at your joke 

As somewhere someone is breathing in and out 

For their very last time

Remembering all the things they forgot to do.

I'm playing as the Titanic disappears 

Into the night-colored-sky

Tears blurring my eyes until 

I can only move my fingers along the strings

And hope they find the right notes. 

I'm whistling in the dark 

And smiling through the pain

So maybe just maybe all my 

Singing and joy 

Will bring just one person a tiny pearl of hope.
