Brighter Day

Brighter Day - Joan Jett (瓊·杰特)/Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

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 yeah

I watch the children run away

The bullets fly where they would play

I watch a junkie fade away

I ain't got an answer but I sure got things to say

Hey 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

I wished that I could 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 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'm not tryin' to tell you 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 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

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
