Cross my fingers
Cross my heart
When the skies today grow dark
That everything will be the same
Just another page in the diary, written away

This fear I have, I'm not afraid to show
These fires could destroy everything I know
But worst comes to worst, I'll keep my faith
And get myself moving, there's no time to wait
Pack up the trinkets, pack up the clothes
Ooh, I don't think we have room for those
Get it all together and into the car
Can't waste any time, those flames arn't far

I've done all I can now
It's up to Fate
Or God, or Buddha, or maybe the Eight
Protect my friends, protect my home
And maybe even the Peterson's down the road
Make Death the gift that nobody buys
So we can wake up tomorrow and watch the sun rise

So much before me, so much to go
So much I pray for with head bowed low
For those who fight, and those who die
And even those so conceited inside
Can find peace and realize
That we all deserve love
And we all have it inside

It's over now, all said and done
Nothing wicked this way comes
My house is still here and so am I
But my thoughts are on others and those who died
Without prejudice and without hate
For all who suffered in this blaze
Let light shine on them this day
I pray
