Love met death at a local bar
And they spent the whole night talking
Love said I can help someone go far
And death said but it's me who keeps people walking

Death takes a train bound for Chicago
And Life stands in the rain
Waiting for that same train to return
Love sings songs to herself
And apathy is busy dusting shelves
Anger is firing shots into the night
And kindness is thinking about the light

Kindness met apathy while sitting on the bus
Kindness kept smiling and apathy just sat and stared
Kindness said we all need to learn how to trust
And apathy said I simply don't care

Death takes a train bound for Chicago
And Life stands in the rain
Waiting for that same train to return
Love sings songs to herself
And apathy is busy dusting shelves
Anger is firing shots into the night
And kindness is thinking about the light

Life and anger held hands by the lake
The sun was glowing and everything was fine
Anger said have you ever felt like a mistake
And life said I can't recall a time

Death takes a train bound for Chicago
And Life stands in the rain
Waiting for that same train to return
Love sings songs to herself
And apathy is busy dusting shelves
Anger is firing shots into the night
And kindness is thinking about the light

If you don't know what to make of this
If the message is unclear
I think this is just a clever way
Of saying I'm glad we're here
If we're all going to be around
We might as well get along
And if we all can do that one thing
Then we'll all be strong
