Lyrics

I’ve been looking for those better days
The ones where dreams don’t seem so far away
There’s no boundaries where we play
Around the corner I see better days

Better days, better days
I do pray for better days
It’ll be ok cuz better days are here to stay

I believe that there are better days
Roll the dice, take a chance and find the way
There’s no worry worth the wait
Don’t you hurry, just contemplate

Life’s too short, don’t let go, hold on tight
Against all odds sometimes you gotta put up a fight

Better days, better days
I do pray for better days
It’ll be ok cuz better days are here to stay

I concede to pain for better days
Rain or shine this smile it will not wane
No more fears and no more blame
Let’s sit right down here and smoke this jay

Better days, better days
I do pray for better days
It’ll be ok cuz better days are here to stay
