Lyrics
Tomorrow's a Better Day
Music and lyrics by John Neil Martin and Lynda Dobbin-Turner
V1
All the thoughts that hide out
In the corners of my mind
All the names and faces
I thought I'd left behind
Things I thought would last forever
Times I thought would never end
Things I thought that I'd let go
Keep coming back again
The would-haves and the should-haves
And the 'wish that I had saids'
Almost make me dizzy
As they circle in my head
Just when I think I rise above them
They bring me down again
When I feel that happen
I lift myself back up and then
Pre-Chorus
I take a plain white piece of paper
And I write the words all out
Then I crumple it and light a match
When the flame's burned itself out
I take the ashes in my hands
I let the wind take them away
And as they drift off in the distance
I remind myself
Chorus
Tomorrow... (tomorrow)
Tomorrow... (tomorrow)
Tomorrow... (tomorrow)
Tomorrow's a better day, a better day
V2
It can be so hard sometimes
To live with old mistakes I've made
The wisdom that they've brought me though
Is worth the price I paid
You give yourself permission
You free yourself at last
You make a firm decision
To let the past lie in the past
Pre-Chorus
Take a plain white piece of paper
And write the words all out
Then you crumple it and light a match
When the flame's burned itself out
Take the ashes to a special place
Let the wind take them away
As they drift off in the distance
You remind yourself
Chorus:
Tomorrow... (tomorrow)
Tomorrow... (tomorrow)
Tomorrow... (tomorrow)
Tomorrow's a better day
Bridge
And the message will be clearer
And the answers will feel nearer
I know that everything will be okay
Tomorrow's a better day
Tomorrow's a better day
Tomorrow's a better day
Tomorrow's a better day
