Better Days lyrics

Through the hurricane winds I was stuck in the rain Trying to smile through the hurt While I'm carrying pain But the storm taught me strength Every scar got meaning Now I see better days Somewhere past the bleeding I didn't see too much death Too many tears on the pavement Too many lost souls That was fighting to make it So I pray for more peace Less names on shirts More moms see their sons Come home from work I want money for the broken Hope for the hopeless Gold in our pockets Instead of pain that we cope with More dinners at the table Less candles in the dark More love inside the homes Less trauma in our hearts I didn't see too many candles Like the night for the fall And too many mothers lose faith When that phone call hit So I pray for less funerals More birthdays and laughter More kids growing old More happy ever afters Better days on the rise I can feel it in my veins Yeah, every tear I ever cry Turn wisdom from the pain Less death, more life Let the peace stay loud We was lost in the dark Now we part of the cloud More money for the struggle Let it open every door More love where it's needed Yeah, let it reach the poor I've been down, I've been broke I've been buried in doubt Now I'm breathing different air While I'm coming out I came up from the rubble Where the silence feel heavy Where dreams get left bleeding And the future ain't steady Had nights I couldn't sleep Just staring at the ceiling Trying to make sense of pain While I lost all that feeling See too many gone Before they ever saw the Sun So I talked to the sky Every time that I'm running dry Ask for more time More peace in the struggle More light in the tunnel When life turned to trouble Now I move with intention Every step got a reason Turn the winter in my soul To a better season I've been broken, I've been bent But I never stayed down Had to learn how to breathe When they try to make me drown So I speak what I live Let it echo through the pain Trying to build something real About the losses in the game If tomorrow ever comes I just hope that it's kinder Less death, more life Let the world be a reminder Better days on the rise (days on the rise) I can feel it in my veins (I can feel it in my veins) Every tear I ever cry (every tear I ever cry) Turn wisdom from the pain Less death, more life Let the peace stay loud (stay loud) We was lost in the dark Now we part of the cloud More money for the struggle Open every door More love where it's needed Let it reach the poor I've been down, I've been broke I've been burying out Now I'm breathing different
