Jett Joan Brighter Day Lyrics

Brighter Day Lyrics

(Jett-Child)

 

 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 ain't 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 newborn's cry, yeah

 

 Now if I could I'd turn back time

 Way back before there was corporate crime

 We'd 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

 

 I'm not tryin' to tell ya

 What's right or wrong

 I'm 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 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
