Something to Get Through - Dar Williams

Wake up and you still feel the same

It’s hard to move and you’re a-reeling from the pain

You say you won’t get better

‘Cause you don’t deserve it, so you think

And maybe you’ll jump off

Now that you’re standing at the brink

But it’s really just a drag

It won’t get any worse

It’s not your special fate

It’s not an evil curse

It’s just something to get through

I’ll bet you will be laughing

With your friends

In the light of a better day

Laughing away

Just not today

When the darkness still won’t turn to dawn

It’s like the underworld, and nothing pulls you up

You were the shining one

Yeah, turning the wheel the other way

Happy to chase those

Glimmers of sun around the day

Now there are no meadow flowers

No colors in the sky

The dogs are laying low

The fountains running dry

It’s just something to get through

I’ll bet you will be laughing

With your friends

In the light of a better day

Laughing away

And everyone is having fun, yeah

Everyone is having fun

They’re so over it

Bounce in their step

Back in the ring

Grieving’s what you got

It’s not a personal thing

And you’ll be laughing

We are your friends

We’ve been there before

We’re waiting on the shore

So take that ride

Take it and come back

Come back soon, yeah

Come back

Come back soon, yeah

Come back

Come back soon, yeah
