Better Days Ahead

Woke up this morning, sunlight missed my face

Bad news in my pocket, found my luck misplaced

Alarm didn't ring, I snoozed too long

Rush out the door, but everything's gone wrong

Traffic's crawling, drivers all the same

Waiting for a change in my runaway game

Yelled at by my boss, felt the world tilt

Car won't start again, oh this day is built

To test my faith, to make me strong

But I know this storm won't last too long

Cause I fall, I stumble, I break down sometimes

But I rise, I fight, I keep my head high

Every crack in my day, shapes the man I am

Struggles are the fire, the test that makes me stand

Yes, I know things will get better, in time they will mend

This rough road I walk, is where my strength begins

Keys in the lock, but they won’t turn

Heart sinking low, I got to learn

My girl left me, her words like rain

But I won’t drown, I’ll find my way again

Ups and downs, I face them all

Every fall, I hear the call

To hold on tight, to endure the night

Morning’s promise shines so bright

Cause I fall, I stumble, I break down sometimes

But I rise, I fight, I keep my head high

Every crack in my day, shapes the man I am

Struggles are the fire, the test that makes me stand

Yes, I know things will get better, in time they will mend

This rough road I walk, is where my strength begins

Tomorrow’s a new dawn, a brighter sun

All these battles, I know I’ve won

Stepping out, into the light

Hold my head up, ready to fight

So I keep moving, even when it’s tough

My spirit’s strong, I’ve had enough

Lessons learned from storms I’ve braved

A better day, will be my fate
