Yeah, I know you're struggling right now
We all are in different ways
It's like a new world that we don't even know
It's hard to sleep, even harder to dream
But look, you've got seven billion brothers and sisters all in the same boat
So don't panic
Life has a way of surviving and going on and on
We're not fragile and we sure don't break easy

You know it's so hard to cope
When you're just hoping there's hope

We're all hangin' on by a thread
We're all starin' at the razor's edge
But, we're not gonna step off the ledge
No

If it could hate, it would hate you
It's a monster, a cold deadly phantom
It hides in the heart and brain
Dreadful and merciless
It has no shape or form
It's demonic, it has no rules
It will confine you to a dark, lifeless room if you allow it
So fight back
Shine a light on it
And most of all, don't give up

You know that it's right
So, we just gotta fight

Yeah, we're all hangin' on by a thread
We're all starin' at the razor's edge
But, we're not gonna step off the ledge
No

We're all hangin' on by a thread
We're all starin' at the razor's edge
But, we're not gonna step off the ledge
No

This is Alice Cooper in Detroit, let's keep fighting, don't give up
