What follows are the actual lyrics to a song written by an adult human. This particular human is in one of the world’s most successful bands, and is married to Gwyneth Paltrow (I think, still right?) Anyway, look on this, and try to suppress the desire to murder him, because he’s famous, and they’ll investigate that shit.

Oh, and the title is “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall.” For real.

“Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall”

by, that Dude who bangs Gwyneth Paltrow

I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
But I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song

And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up, I’m on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight

I turn the music up, I got my records on
From underneath a rubble sing a rebel song
Don’t want to see another generation drop
I’d rather be a comma than a full stop
Maybe I’m in the black, maybe I’m on my knees
Maybe I’m in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart

As we saw oh this light
I swear you emerge blinking into
To tell me it’s alright

As we soar walls
Every siren is a symphony
And every tear’s a waterfall

Is a waterfall, ah
Is a waterfall, ah
Is always a waterfall
Every tear is always a waterfall, ah

So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I’ll raise the flag

Oh,
It was a wa-ah-ah-ah, waterfall
A wa-ah-ah-ah, waterfall

Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall

Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
