    Lyrics

    Good people, I’ve missed your faces
    But I thank my stars that I’m
    On this planet, spinning through space
    Alive at the same time
    Most things I’ve tried I failed
    Got the scars and the stories to prove
    But I keep shoving off, trimming my sails
    Setting my course by you

    And I can’t help but carry you with me wherever I go
    Even when I’m feeling like a fruit loop in a bowl of Cheerios
    You might be weirdos to the world but you’re all heroes to me
    Though it sure ain’t a lot, whatever sense I’ve got
    Is from keeping good company

    It was lifetimes ago it seems
    We were wild and thick as thieves
    Heads full of schemes and stupid little dreams
    We just might still believe
    And I believed in me ‘cause you dared to
    You made me proud just to be around
    And I really couldn’t care about the way they stared
    At us scuzzbags in Snazzytown

    Now I can’t help but carry you with me wherever I go
    Even when I’m feeling like the lone alpaca in a goat rodeo
    You might be weirdos to the world but you’re all heroes to me
    Though it sure ain’t a lot, whatever sense I’ve got
    Is from keeping good company

    I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love you people!
    Sing it with me if you’re feeling it too
    I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love you people!
    And I wouldn’t be me without you
    I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love you people!
    Won’t you sing it with us just once more?
    I lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love you people!
    And lovin’s what livin’ is for

    So I’m singing for my teachers here today
    And my teachers who are dead and gone
    Though they couldn’t stay I got the love they gave
    I get to carry it and pass it on
    And when we circle up around the fire
    In spite of all that’s changed
    Wood and wire and a vagabond choir
    Still make a home on the range

    And I can’t help but carry it with me wherever I roam
    Remembering when I was feeling like an alien
    And you told me, “Welcome home!”

    You might be weirdos to the world
    But you’re all heroes to me
    Though it sure ain’t a lot
    Whatever sense I’ve got
    Is from keeping good company
    Though it sure ain’t a lot
    Whatever sense I’ve got
    Is from keeping good company
