My heart is on fire
And my head is aflame 
Thoughts come quickly
Exploding in my brain
All I have is my pen
And it's my sword
Mighty and fearless my lord

I write to live 
And I live to write
Get the words out
No need to shout
Today is gonna be okay 
Everything's gonna be alright (gonna be alright)

The world is at war
And we watch it burn
The media just loves it at every turn
What is the meaning of life
Just trouble and strife
There is no sorrow 
Here today gone tomorrow

Today is gonna be okay 
Everything's gonna be alright(gonna be alright)

You gotta have hope 
And trust in the lord
The day of salvation is near
You won't be ignored
I think you are talking jive
I don't believe a word
I'm more dead than alive

I write to live 
and I live to write
Get the words out
No need to shout
Today is gonna be okay 
Everything's gonna  be alright (gonna be alright)
