Well, those seven fell from out the sky.
Their ship's a fiery rain.
We interrupt your daily life,
For disappointment and some pain.[...]
Now, with sevens you can never lose.
At least, that's what they say.
But painful truth says seven more,
May do the same some other day.So just ride those roman candles high,
And know some burn too fast.
Stuff breaks or burns or falls apart,
But we'll get into space at last.
In addition to clicking on that link to get the rest of those lyrics, you might also read and/or listen to "A Ray of Hope" (which I've quoted from before IIRC) by Gunther Anderson and Donna M. Dubé.
