lyrics

BETTER DAYS

Our blades are sharpened, gears turning
Our engines running strong, our resolve is hardened steel
Our hands are calloused, eyes opened
We’re bruised but hanging on
Without the hurt you cannot heal

CH: Go to work every day
And slave our lives away
We hope and pray for better days

Our time is precious, it wrecks us
We calculate the cost, our means define our ends
Our lives have meaning, have reason
We’ll chase our shooting stars
With grace we will defend

CH: Go to work every day
And slave our lives away
We hope and pray for better days

We’ll seek out glory, misfortunes
We’ll make our own mistakes, bones break but they will mend
Cards stacked against us, rebellious
We seek our promised land
Til our time is at an end
