Chinese Cigarettes
We sat and spoke about our regrets
As we smoked our Chinese cigarettes
And listened to those distant jets
Pass us in the sky of blue
And you told me that you'd lost your faith
Or at the very least, you had lost your way
And I struggled to find the words to say
Or look you in the eye
So I promised you that you'd be fine
You would find your path and I'd find mine
But we both knew that was just a line
To fill the empty space.
Well, if there is a God above
I am sure He's kind and full of love
And wondering at the mess we've made
Out of everything that He's given us
But if it turns out they are right
And there's nothing past that veil of night
No choir of angels and no bright light
To greet us on the other side
I'd rather just as soon not know
I'm heading down a dead-end road
Oh without that certainty, there's hope
And maybe that's enough
And so, strike up the band, play the songs of old
The sea of crystal, the streets of gold
Repeat the stories that I've been told
Since I was just a little child.
It will be alright
Tell me it will be alright
Cuz He's won the fight
Everything will be alright
It will be alright
I promise it will be alright
Just close your eyes tonight
Everything will be alright.
