Jett Joan Brighter Day lyrics

(Jett-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 ain`t 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 newborn`s cry, yeah

Now if I could I`d turn back time
Way back before there was corporate crime
We`d 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

I`m not tryin` to tell ya
What`s right or wrong
I`m 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 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
