VERSE 1
There's a man on the corner with a tired face,
Carrying weight that the world can't trace,
There's a woman upstairs at the end of the hall,
Staring at walls, waiting for the call,
We don't talk about the wars we wage inside,
The scars that we carry, the things we hide,
But I see it in your eyes, I know the way,
We're all just waiting, waiting for a better day.
CHORUS
Waiting for a better day, but we don't wait alone,
There's a million hearts beside you, you're never on your own,
Waiting for a better day, and we're gonna see it through,
There's a fire in the waiting, and it's burning inside you,
Better day, better day,
We're waiting for a better day.
VERSE 2
There's a kid in the corner who can't sleep at night,
Fighting demons that nobody else can fight,
There's a father at work putting on a smile,
Empty inside, but he'll walk that mile,
We don't speak of the battles bleeding deep inside,
The silent screams we never confide,
But we're not alone in this broken way,
We're all just waiting, waiting for a better day.
CHORUS
Waiting for a better day, but we don't wait alone,
There's a million hearts beside you, you're never on your own,
Waiting for a better day, and we're gonna see it through,
There's a fire in the waiting, and it's burning inside you,
Better day, better day,
We're waiting for a better day.
BRIDGE
So if you're standing in the shadows now,
If you don't remember how,
To see a light beyond the pain,
Look around, you're not a stranger to the rain,
We've all been bent but we're not breaking,
We've all got scars but we're still making,
A way through the wreckage, a path through the night,
We're all holding on, the better day's in sight.
FINAL CHORUS
Waiting for a better day, but we don't wait alone,
There's a million hearts beside you, you're never on your own,
Waiting for a better day, and we're gonna see it through,
There's a fire in the waiting, and it's burning inside you,
Better day, better day,
We're waiting for a better day.
