A Better Day Is Coming

(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch) 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
