Better Days

Christmas Eve is crazy, tommorrow will be worse. So, here's a little something to think about, a song that's really meant a lot to me this holiday season. I hope you enjoy it too. Just rememeber, tonight's the night the world begins again.
Merry Christmas!

Better Days by the Goo Goo Dolls*

So you ask me what I want this year,
And I try to make this kind and clear,
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days.
'Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in string,
And designer love and empty things,
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days.

So take these words,
And sing outloud,
'Cause everyone is forgiven now;
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again.

I need someplace simple where we can live,
And something only you can give,
And that's faith, and trust, and peace while we're alive.
And the one poor Child who saved this world,
And there's ten million more who probably could (be saved),
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them.

So take these words,
And sing outloud,
'Cause everyone is forgiven now;
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again.

I wish everyone was loved tonight,
And some could stop this endless fight,
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days.

So take these words,
And sing outloud,
'Cause everyone is forgiven now;
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again.
'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again.
