Virginia Woolf

Some will strut and some will fret
 See this an hour on this stage
 Others will not but they'll sweat
 In their hopelessness in their rage
 We're all the same
 The men of anger
 And the women of the page
 They published your diary
 And that's how I got to know you
 Key to the room of your own and a mind without end
 And here's a young girl
 On a kind of a telephone line through time
 And the voice at the other end comes like a long lost friend
 So I know I'm all right
 my life will come my life will go
 Still I feel it's all right
 'Cause I just got a letter to my soul
 When my whole life is on the tip of my tongue
 Empty pages for the no longer young
 The apathy of time laughs in my face
 You say each life has its place
 The hatches were battened
 Thunderclouds rolled and the critics stormed
 Battles surrounded the white flag of your youth
 But if you need to know that you weathered the storm
 Of cruel mortality
 A hundred years later I'm sitting here living proof
 So you know it's all right
 Your life will come your life will go
 Still you feel it's all right
 Someone will get a letter to your soul
 When your whole life was on the tip of your tongue
 Empty pages for the no longer young
 The apathy of time laughed in your face
 Did you hear me say each life has its place
 The place where you hold me
 Is dark in a pocket of truth
 The moon has swallowed the sun and the light of the earth
 And so it was for you when the river eclipsed your life
 But sent your soul like a message in a bottle to me
 And it was my rebirth
 So we know we're all right
 Life will come and life will go
 Still you'll feel it's all right
 Someone'll get a message to your soul
 (And then you'll know you're all right)
 And when my life is on the tip of my tongue
 (Then you'll feel you're all right)
 Empty pages for the no longer young
 (The you'll feel it's all right, and it's all right)
 You said each life has its place
 (The you'll feel it's all right, and it's all right)
 And you said each life has its place
 And it's all right
