... Turn off your mind And go back with me to a better time Do you see the same moon I do When I'm thinking of you Well that's ok We can try again another day Do you feel the same breeze I feel Lifting you up Lifting me up Lifting us up 'Cause everyone can fly Everyone can fly Everyone can fly You just have to try Turn off the lights And don't be afraid of another night Do the promises you couldn't keep Make it hard for you to sleep Well that's ok Everybody makes the same mistakes As the stars shine the night away Let them lift you up Let them lift you up Let them lift you up Cause everyone can fly Everyone can fly Everyone can fly You just have to try Did you ever stop and think when you were twenty ' You'd be where you are today ...
Well that's ok We can try again another day Do you feel the same breeze I feel Lifting you up Lifting me up Lifting us up
'Cause everyone can fly Everyone can fly Everyone can fly You just have to try
Turn off the lights And don't be afraid of another night Do the promises you couldn't keep Make it hard for you to sleep
Well that's ok Everybody makes the same mistakes As the stars shine the night away Let them lift you up Let them lift you up Let them lift you up
Cause everyone can fly Everyone can fly Everyone can fly You just have to try
Did you ever stop and think when you were twenty ' You'd be where you are today ...

RFK jr is a terrible person working for terrible people, so when other terrible people do terrible things to good people, it's blah to him

More spot on messaging from another top tier Trump appointee. The guy has more sympathy for the dead fish he catches than the people being shot at.
