Brighter Day

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

(joan jett/desmond child)
 
 I watch my generation die
 I watch the heads of nations lie
 I watch the homeless on the streets
 I stand here helpless just
 Lookin at my feet
 I watch the children run away
 The bullets fly where they should play
 I watch a junkie fade away
 I aint got an answer
 But I sure got things to say
 Hey, I gotta find a way
 Cause the road is dark
 Gotta light my way
 Gotta fight the fear
 In my heart
 Oh, I pray
 I live to see
 A brighter day, hey hey
 
 I watch the old folks sit alone
 They talk to ghosts they used to know
 Where are the wise men of the tribe
 Where are the midwives and the newborns cry, yeah
 
 Now if I could Id turn back time
 Way back before there was corporate crime
 Wed fight the wind to plant our seed
 When the earth was stronger than human greed
 Hey, hey, I gotta find a way
 Cause night is dark
 Gotta light my way
 Gotta fight the fear
 In my heart
 Oh I pray
 I live to see
 A brighter day...hey, hey
 
 Im not tryin to tell ya
 Whats right or wrong
 Im not trying to be clever
 You gotta hope things get better
 Even when they never...hey, hey, hey
 
 Hey hey, I gotta find a way
 Cause road is dark
 Gotta light my way
 Gotta fight the fear
 In my heart
 Oh, I pray
 I live to see
 A brighter day...hey, hey
