And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Times are changing, things come and go,
Things are getting worse the earth, a black hole,
I say to myself "Will this shit ever change?"
Will it ever improve or will it stay the same?
It's plain to me that things are amiss,
Because I've seen better days than this,
How could we let it get as bad as it is?
Because I've seen better days than this,
It's plain to me that things are amiss.
Famine and war, hate and disgrace,
Incest and murder, raping the rat race,
I see no end to this suffering,
Faith, hope and love are burnt offerings.
Decline and fall of modern man, our fate is sealed by our own hand,
Time spinning onward we're regressing fast,
Signs of the times say these days might be our last,
Better days are gone forever I fear,
Our hate dictates our fate, apocalypse is here.
i feel part of the universe open up to meet me
my emotion so submerged, broken down to kneel in
once listening, the voices they came
had to somehow greet myself, read myself
heard vibrations within my cells, in my cells
singing "aaah aaaah aaaah aaaaaah"
my love is safe for the universe
see me now, i'm bursting
on one planet, so many turns
different worlds
singing "aaah aaaah aaaah aaaaaah"
fill my heart with discipline
put there for the teaching
in my head see clouds of stairs
help me as i'm reaching
the future's paved with better days
not running from something
i'm running towards the day
wide awake anekatips
a whisper once quiet, now rising to a scream
right in me
i'm falling, free falling, words calling me
up off my knees
i'm soaring and, darling,
you'll be the one that i can need
still be free
our future's paved with better days..
