MAY YOU LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES

In a world that spins too fast,
where shadows are cast long,
We find our spirits tested,
and try to stand so strong.
With the ground shaking under,
and skies torn asunder,
We've faced so many storms,
yet we still stand here in wonder.

From the valleys to the cities,
where the rivers can run dry,
We've seen the world a-changing,
under the same old sky.
With hearts heavy from the news
that nightly does unwind,
We search for the truth,
though it often has two minds.

CHORUS:
"MAY YOU LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES,"
they say,
A blessing or a curse
often thrown our way.
But with each trial we have,
we have love, we have rhymes,
Guiding us through
these very interesting times.

In the quiet of the night,
when the fear creeps in,
We hold onto each other,
hope together that we'll win.
For in these darkest moments,
when the light barely shines,
Still shows us the way,
through these interesting times.

Oh, we've danced in the rain,
and we've cried in the sun,
We've faced down our fears,
all of them one by one.
Though the world keeps on changing,
one truth always chimes,
It's love keeps us strong,
in these interesting times.

So here's to the laughter,
and here's to the tears,
To all we've overcome,
over all of these years.
May we live, may we love,
in the harshest of climes,
And find beauty and hope,
in these interesting times.

CHORUS:
"MAY YOU LIVE IN INTERESTING TIMES,"
they say,
A blessing or a curse
often thrown our way.
But with each trial we have,
we have love, we have rhymes,
Guiding us through
these very interesting times.
