This song caught me off guard, as I didn't know where it would go or how beautiful (I think) it would end up.
For me, it ends up being about the spiritual development of an individual and of humanity as a whole. We all know Mr Pibbs. And we are all Mr Pibbs. And we all play a role in the growth of Mr Pibbs.

[Verse]
In his darkest mind of minds,
Mr. Pibbs is blind
to all the things there are to see,
to letting goodness be.
[Verse]
He’s looking for his glory now,
to shining through his story.
He’s bending ears and earning tears,
promoting midnight fears.
[Chorus]
Mr. Pibbs is quite the kid,
stuck inside and small,
wishing he were something more,
afraid that he will fall.
But Mr. Pibbs is one of us.
That’s something after all.
[Verse]
In his cloudy day to day to day,
he tries to make his way
to the tops of charts and broken hearts
from his place of broken starts.
[Verse]
Mr. Pibbs is looking better now
with his plastic face and sweater.
He smiles at us the whole day long
and tries to sing a better song.
[Chorus]
Mr. Pibbs is quite the kid,
stuck inside and small,
wishing he were something more,
afraid that he will fall.
But Mr. Pibbs is one of us.
That’s something after all.
[Bridge]
There are times of life we all know Mr. Pibbs.
Times when we can smile. Times to lend a hand.
For Mr. Pibbs is one of us, and it’s time for him to stand.
Mr. Pibbs is breaking to be a better man.
[Chorus]
Mr. Pibbs was quite the kid,
stuck inside his past,
wishing he were something more,
and now he is at last.
[Outro]
Mr. Pibbs is one of us.
He greets us every day.
The best of us, the worst of us,
he’s here to show the way.
The best of us, the worst of us,
the nighttime and the day.
And we’re here to walk the way.
In his darkest mind of minds,
Mr. Pibbs is blind
to all the things there are to see,
to letting goodness be.
[Verse]
He’s looking for his glory now,
to shining through his story.
He’s bending ears and earning tears,
promoting midnight fears.
[Chorus]
Mr. Pibbs is quite the kid,
stuck inside and small,
wishing he were something more,
afraid that he will fall.
But Mr. Pibbs is one of us.
That’s something after all.

The best of us, the worst of us,
the nighttime and the day.
And we’re here to walk the way.
