|
Yesterday I walked a mean street
|
Looking for a long lost heart beat
|
Came upon a poor music man just singing
|
|
God brought it all together
|
How we used to play forever
|
I felt every song I've sung come ringing
|
|
You know it's been so long since I felt it in my soul
|
But from this day on my life is on a roll
|
If someone stands up just to let the spirit flow
|
Then a better day is coming
|
|
I came home and shared my feeling
|
You said there's a new world stealing
|
Open up and let the light just fill us
|
|
You know it's been so long since we felt it in our soul
|
But from this day on our life is on a roll
|
If we all stand up just to let the spirit flow
|
Then a better day is coming
|
|
There's a world unseen though we know it very well
|
Where there's harmony that no one can buy and sell
|
When our voices rise in the innocence of song
|
Then a better day is coming
|
|
We held on through some awful years
|
We can wait 'til our day appears
|
|
You know it's been so long since we felt it in our soul
|
But from this day on our life is on a roll
|
If we all stand up just to let the spirit flow
|
Then a better day is coming
|
|
And in this broken world where we have so much to grieve
|
We must try so hard to believe what we believe
|
If we keep a dream of how good it all can be
|
Then a better day is coming
|
|
You know it's been so long since I felt it in my soul
|
But from this day on my life is on a roll
|
If someone stands up just to let the spirit flow
|
Then a better day is coming
|
|
And in this world of grieving
|
We must try believing
|
If we keep our dreams
|
Then a better day is coming
|
|
A better day is coming
|
Brighter world is dawning
|
If we all stand up
|
|

A BETTER DAY IS COMING
