Brighter Day

I watch my generation die

I watch the heads of nations lie

I watch the homeless on the streets

I stand here helpless just

Lookin at my feet

I watch the children run away

The bullets fly where they should play

I watch a junkie fade away

I aint got an answer

But I sure got things to say

Hey, I gotta find a way

Cause the road is dark

Gotta light my way

Gotta fight the fear

In my heart

Oh, I pray

I live to see

A brighter day, hey hey

I watch the old folks sit alone

They talk to ghosts they used to know

Where are the wise men of the tribe

Where are the midwives and the newborns cry, yeah

Now if I could Id turn back time

Way back before there was corporate crime

Wed fight the wind to plant our seed

When the earth was stronger than human greed

Hey, hey, I gotta find a way

Cause night is dark

Gotta light my way

Gotta fight the fear

In my heart

Oh I pray

I live to see

A brighter day...hey, hey

Im not tryin to tell ya

Whats right or wrong

Im not trying to be clever

You gotta hope things get better

Even when they never...hey, hey, hey

Hey hey, I gotta find a way

Cause road is dark

Gotta light my way

Gotta fight the fear

In my heart

Oh, I pray

I live to see

A brighter day...hey, hey
