Smile in the age of worry

   Today's gonna be a long one. I've had a small bout of heartburn every time I've caught a glimpse of today in my planner for about the past two weeks. But here we go anyway. This song came up on my shuffle while driving to work on Monday and I could not think of a more perfect song for today, and the next 8, eh 9 years of my life. So I guess I'll have my morning peppermint tea, take some Zantac, and rage in the age of worry. 

Close your eyes and clone yourself

Build your heart an army

To defend your innocence

While you do everything wrong

Don't be scared to walk alone

Don't be scared to like it

There's no time that you must be home

So sleep where darkness falls

Alive in the age of worry

Smile in the age of worry

Go wild in the age of worry

And say, "Worry, why should I care?"

Know your fight is not with them

Yours is with your time here

Dream your dreams but don't pretend

Make friends with what you are

Give your heart then change your mind

You're allowed to do it

'Cause God knows it's been done to you

And somehow you got through it

Alive in the age of worry

Rage in the age of worry

Sing out in the age of worry

And say, "Worry, why should I care?"

Rage in the age of worry

Act your age in the age of worry

And say, "Worry, get out of here!"
