BRIGHTER DAY
Everybody's bruised, it's been that kind of year
Been a little house cleanin' been a lotta pain and tears
But it's no good runnin' away
Learn from the hard times, make them pay
I'm just sayin' my prayers and lookin' for a brighter day
CHORUS:
Lookin' for a brighter day
Don't look down you'll only see the ground
Lookin' for a brighter day
Got to hit the hard run
Keep your face to the sun
Babe, it's gonna be o.k.
I'm just sayin' my prayers and lookin' for a brighter day
I was hangin' on the roof by the time the rain clouds dried
I was caught up in the flood but I made it to the other side
Now my feet are all covered with clay
But I know I'm gonna be o.k.
I'm just sayin' my prayers and lookin' for a brighter day
CHORUS
Oh, everybody knows
It ain't me, sure not you
Oh, face that cloudy gray
Sun is cuttin' through
Sun is cuttin' through
Now the good Lord came on down to a world of grief
And He put up with our foolish pride and our unbelief
We didn't listen to what He'd say
But He died for us anyway
Well He took the heat and kept lookin' for a brighter day
CHORUS
