Sensing that this is a dark day   I remember when the sun came again   No need to fight the world myself   I have victory built into history      Cause I have seen better days   There will be better days      This is a shadow of life lying fallow   Despairing can't find its place here      Take a token from the past   And you see that nothing lasts   Things keep moving on   And you ask me   Where is home?   Well the clouds have fallen ill   And if yet more rain is spilled   Well I forgive them      Wash your fears in purest hope   It keeps you cleaner than can soap   Just remember that the dirt comes from within your living skin   It's made of everything you eat   Keeps you standing on your feet   There's a price to pay   But don't dismay   You'll live      Because I have seen better days   There will be better days      Fearing silence you just might   Find yourself awake at night   Imagining the things that could go wrong before too long   Let the panic slip away   Don't hold too tightly to this day   Don't crush its life out and you're sure to find the cure
