Did you see the thing on the news, about the thing that went bad? A lot of people confused, a lot of people were sad A couple people were mad, and they were turning their backs I didn't know what to think, so I called up my dad And said, it's scary to go outside, it's scary to take a drive It's scary to be alive, but it's also scary to die It's scary to be alone, it's scary to sit at home It's scary, cause I don't know what's scaring me the most But wait, what were we talking about? I got carried away with my worries and doubts Hey, why don't we turn it around? Spend the rest of the day with our heads in the clouds for a while now It's getting harder to smile now I didn't even notice, it's a beautiful day And the sky is so clear, I swear it's never this warm out so late in the year Are the birds and the bees all feeling our fear? Do they know what we've done to their atmosphere? Yeah, it's scary to go outside, it's scary to take a drive It's scary alone at night, it's scary inside my mind It's scary to go to school, it's scary to read the news It's scary to think of you and know you're scared too But wait, what were we talking about? I got carried away with my worries and doubts Hey, why don't we turn this around? Spend the rest of the day with our heads in the clouds for a while now Why's it so hard to smile now? Let's take a walk and talk about the sky and the sea And the people and trees And the things we believe And the love that we need And the things that we buy And the reasons we cry Cause we're scared of this life But it's scary to die Oh wait, what were we talking about? I got carried away with my worries and doubts Hey, why don't we turn this around? Find the beauty in pain In the ups and the downs And just smile now Man, I'd hate to be a child now They'll be scared for a while now
