Better Day

Johnny L.

open your eyes

let in the light

take off the clothes

you slept in last night

the dream is over and

a new day now awaits for you

no more regrets about

the things you simply couldn’t do

i’m thinking that

you’ve seen your share of disappointments

i’m guessing that

you’re tired of running away

i’m hoping that

your luck will change

and you will have

a better day

someday

so much has changed

it’s been such a long time

all rearranged

by reasons sublime

you can’t remember

what it’s like to live

without the ache

and see reminders of

the efforts that you couldn’t make

i’m thinking that

you’ve seen your share of disappointments

i’m guessing that

you’re tired of running away

i’m hoping that

your luck will change

and you will have

a better day

someday

there’s no point to lying in bed

and replaying all of the words of the dead

in your head

because now the sun is shining

’m thinking that

we’ve just seen your potential

i’m guessing that

there’s more you want to say

i’m hoping that

your luck has changed

and you will have

a better day

someday

a better day

today
