Flow out of me like words unto an empty nation.

Please give me the strength I need to remedy their situations

I've never been better, never been better.



Encounters, oh so queer are sure to cause discomfort.

Have you ever been better?

In spite of passing fears, you choke it down with shallow hopes

of getting better; it will get better.



*I know you've seen it all before,

You're not alone.

They told you, fix your broken heart,

You have no home.



Get up kid, tell yourself the truth or you'll regret it.

It can only get better.

I know to more you can aspire.

I'm telling you that you're worthwhile,

just listen to me, I'm telling you, that you are better.



*Chorus



Give me your "I came close", and I will give you mine.

Ten hands aren't close to perfect, but they are yours tonight.



You can't rewrite what is inscribed.

(I'm like a bird from a cage; I'm free at last and soaring)

When all is lost, you will find life.

(I'm like a bird from a cage; I'm free at last and soaring high).
