A Brighter Day
Sometimes I let my worries get the best of me
I let my mind be twisted inside out
I seem to go to pieces all inside me
My life is filled with loneliness and doubt

And when my thoughts
Are brought down to despair
I just remember that hope is always there
It's just a matter of my mind over matter
I close my eyes and say a little prayer

And I can see a brighter day
Yesterday, I may be just a loner
(A brightеr day)
I know that love is waiting
Just around the corner
(A brightеr day)
I heard those gentle voices
Saying happiness
Is gonna come my way
It's gonna be a brighter day

In my mind's eyes, the scenery
Is so beautiful to behold
And my senses race
To a happy place
And revelations unfold
And my thoughts conveyed
All my troubles away
And the sunshine floods my soul
And the fragments of my life
All come together once again
And I am home
And I can see a brighter day
Yesterday, I may be just a loner
(A brighter day)
I know that love is waiting
Just around the corner
(A brighter day)
I heard those gentle voices
Saying happiness
Is gonna come my way
And I can see a brighter day

Yesterday, I may be just a loner
(A brighter day)
I know, I know that love
Is waiting 'round the corner
(A brighter day)
Can't you hear those gentle voices
Saying happiness
Surely is gonna come my way
And I can see a brighter day...
