Lyrics
A BRIGHTER DAY (P. Fridhill/J. Hoffmann)
Bereft of purpose I roam my house
The weight of the world as it turns around
It’s the little things that make it so big
The pressure of time that moves and grinds
Leaves me stranded
In everyday life
But you should see me
Laughing in the sun
I throw my hands up in the air
and do a crazy run
The heat is on my skin
The heavy feeling’s givin’ in
To a brighter day
I weigh my options against my dreams
The circumstances that keep my life within
This little cell in a ravenous world
tick-tocks along as little things are done
Let me out now
My wings are ready to fly
But you should see me
Laughing in the sun
I throw my hands up in the air
and do a crazy run
The heat is on my skin
The heavy feeling’s givin’ in
To a brighter day
Well, it’s where to spend the holidays
How to tend the garden
Visit friends and relatives
see our children growin’
The small things grow on us
as the pace of youth slows
But you should see me
Laughing in the sun
I throw my hands up in the air
and do a crazy run
The heat is on my skin
The heavy feeling’s givin’ in
To a brighter day
But you should see me
Laughing and dancing in the sun...
