Joan Jett - Brighter Day lyrics

I watch my generation die I watch the heads of nations lie I watch the homeless on the streets I stand here helpless just Looking at my feet I watch the children run away The bullets fly where they should play I watch a junkie fade away I ain't got an answer But I sure got things to say Hey, I gotta find a way 'Cause the road is dark Gotta light my way Gotta fight the fear In my heart Oh, I pray I live to see A brighter day, hey hey I watch the old folks sit alone They talk to ghosts they used to know Where are the wise men of the tribe Where are the midwives and the newborn's cry, yeah Now if I could I'd turn back time Way back before there was corporate crime We'd fight the wind to plant our seed When the earth was stronger than human greed Hey, hey, I gotta find a way 'Cause night is dark Gotta light my way Gotta fight the fear In my heart Oh I pray I live to see A brighter day, hey hey I'm not trying to tell ya What's right or wrong I'm not trying to be clever You gotta hope things get better Even when they never, hey hey hey Hey hey, I gotta find a way 'Cause road is dark Gotta light my way Gotta fight the fear In my heart Oh, I pray I live to see A brighter day, hey hey
