Now we don't know what heaven looks like
But we've seen enough hell right here and right now
But when the road is the roughest
And the problems are the toughest
Or when the times are the hardest
And that ol' sky turns the darkest
You gotta keep the faith 'cause I believe there's a better day
And those ol' blues, why they're gonna just roll right on away
I know they are, listen to me...

All that's blue ain't sky and sea
Some of that blue's bound to get on me
But the blues don't come to stay
They'll move away on a better day

Troubles and woes and misery
Ain't gonna get the best of me
Lift the shades, fix my gaze
On a better day clear away

Better days just up ahead
When sorrow ain't sleepin' in my bed
When people ain't messin' with my head
There's a better way, there's a brighter day
Oh, there's a better day with clearer skies
Hope and promise on the rise
Oh, the future, well, it's lookin' bright, on a better day
Look away, look away

There's a better day
Oh better day just up ahead
When sorrow ain't sleepin' in my bed
And people ain't messin' with my head
There's a better day, there's a better day
Oh, all that's blue, it ain't sky and sea
Some of that blue's gonna fall on me
Oh, the future's lookin' bright
There's a better day, look away, look away
