Sensing that this is a dark day

I remember when the sun came again

No need to fight the world myself

I have victory built into history



Cause I have seen better days

There will be better days



This is a shadow of life lying fallow

Despairing can’t find its place here



Take a token from the past

And you see that nothing lasts

Things keep moving on

And you ask me

Where is home?

Well the clouds have fallen ill

And if yet more rain is spilled

Well I forgive them



Wash your fears in purest hope

It keeps you cleaner than can soap

Just remember that the dirt comes from within your living skin

It’s made of everything you eat

Keeps you standing on your feet

There’s a price to pay

But don’t dismay

You’ll live



Because I have seen better days

There will be better days



Fearing silence you just might

Find yourself awake at night

Imagining the things that could go wrong before too long

Let the panic slip away

Don’t hold too tightly to this day

Don’t crush its life out and you’re sure to find the cure
