Joan Jett And The Blackhearts - Brighter Day Lyrics
(joan jett/desmond child)I watch my generation dieI watch the heads of nations lieI watch the homeless on the streetsI stand here helpless justLookin at my feetI watch the children run awayThe bullets fly where they should playI watch a junkie fade awayI aint got an answerBut I sure got things to sayHey, I gotta find a wayCause the road is darkGotta light my wayGotta fight the fearIn my heartOh, I prayI live to seeA brighter day, hey heyI watch the old folks sit aloneThey talk to ghosts they used to knowWhere are the wise men of the tribeWhere are the midwives and the newborns cry, yeahNow if I could Id turn back timeWay back before there was corporate crimeWed fight the wind to plant our seedWhen the earth was stronger than human greedHey, hey, I gotta find a wayCause night is darkGotta light my wayGotta fight the fearIn my heartOh I prayI live to seeA brighter day...hey, heyIm not tryin to tell yaWhats right or wrongIm not trying to be cleverYou gotta hope things get betterEven when they never...hey, hey, heyHey hey, I gotta find a wayCause road is darkGotta light my wayGotta fight the fearIn my heartOh, I prayI live to seeA brighter day...hey, hey
