lyrics

I hear the sirens first,
before the cars arrive.
The crickets hush their song.

The officers are stoic;
they tell us it’s bad news.
We’re outside in the front yard,
wearing pajamas and no shoes.

They tell me, “Go inside.
Get a blanket for his face.”
How do I know if I chose right?

Now everything is different,
but the dawn comes, anyway.
A cardinal greets the morning,
the inconsiderate, bright rays.

Although it’s August,
the new year starts right now—
this is the day that we will count from.

And I’m counting all my blessings, too
I’m wearing my brave face.
My words are insufficient.
