JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS - BRIGHTER DAY Lyrics

I watch my generation dieI watch the heads of nations lieI watch the homeless on the streetsI stand here helpless justLookin' at my feetI watch the children run awayThe bullets fly where they should playI watch a junkie fade awayI ain't got an answerBut I sure got things to sayHey, I gotta find a wayCause the road is darkGotta light my wayGotta fight the fearIn my heartOh, I prayI live to seeA brighter day...hey heyI watch the old folks sit aloneThey talk to ghosts they used to knowWhere are the wise men of the tribeWhere are the midwives and the newborn's cry, yeahNow if I could I'd turn back timeWay back before there was corporate crimeWe'd fight the wind to plant our seedWhen the earth was stronger than human greedHey, hey, I gotta find a wayCause night is darkGotta light my wayGotta fight the fearIn my heartOh I prayI live to seeA brighter day...hey, heyI'm not tryin' to tell yaWhat's right or wrongI'm not trying to be cleverYou gotta hope things get betterEven when they never...hey, hey, heyHey hey, I gotta find a wayCause night is darkGotta light my wayGotta fight the fearIn my heartOh, I prayI live to seeA brighter day...hey, hey
