Better Days

[Intro] I’m counting coins in the pale morning light, yeah Dreams on layaway, but I’m holding tight [Verse 1] I’ve got holes in my pockets and bills in my boots Yet I still hum a tune when the world steals my proof Hands full of worries, heart full of fire Every note I sing stacks higher and higher [Pre-Chorus] If the night looks heavy, I’ll carry the dawn If the road bends away, I’ll keep moving on [Chorus] I sing for my life, I sing through the strain I’ll find a way to stand again after the rain Hope is a bridge that I’m learning to lay Step by step, I’ll walk toward brighter days [Verse 2] Sometimes the shadows try to drown out the sound But a single melody can turn it around Coins clink like rain on a battered roof But faith keeps counting the beats of my truth [Pre-Chorus] If the night looks heavy, I’ll carry the dawn If the road bends away, I’ll keep moving on [Chorus] I sing for my life, I sing through the strain I’ll find a way to stand again after the rain Hope is a bridge that I’m learning to lay Step by step, I’ll walk toward brighter days [Bridge] Let the chorus rise, let the hopeful bells ring Even a whispered tune can pull me through the sting [Chorus] I sing for my life, I sing through the strain I’ll find a way to stand again after the rain Hope is a bridge that I’m learning to lay Step by step, I’ll walk toward brighter days [Outro] Brighter days through the sound of my own heart I sing, I hope, I start part by part
