story behind the song: for Brett and all those countless fans of the Tragically Hip. Condolences to Mr. Downie and his.
Lyrics
there's certain things to celebrate
like breathing everyday
not all that hype and those celebrity sweet fakes
inevitable nonsense, all the same
once there was a poet
wrote great words that were sometimes read
but wouldn't you know it
he's worth more dead
worth so much more dead ...
we all have our crosses
all too hard to bear
counting all our losses
it's a miracle, we still care
we still care
ah don't you care?
ya gotta care
ya gotta care
we still care
and we'll miss ya
