Better Days
There's a girl who gets on her knees every night and prays.
She prays that there will be better days.
She sees the world as it is, polluted and destroyed.
And she wishes that the world would stop being such a cruel void.
She tells herself there will be better days,
But constantly that dream is set ablaze.
She sees the prejudice, the segregation.
She wants no more discrimination.
And she prays that there will be better days.
She prays for a day when war will not be the craze.
She waits for a day when the beaten and abused
Are no longer left alone and bruised.
And she prays that there will be better days.
And maybe just, maybe today will be the day,
The day when the world has a better day.
And her dream, her wish will finally come true.
The world will finally renew.
There's a girl who gets on her knees every night and prays.
She prays that there will be better days.

And here's one I wrote because I felt like it:
Just Hold On
The pieces are broken and scattered,
Her lonliness is there, an emotion she has mastered.
She wants to go where she belongs,
A place she's been searching for, for so long.
But there's someone there she just can't see.
She overlooks, to blinded by her misery.
There's someone there who tells her to hold on,
To look past the dark, and see the dawn.
She's desperate, she's losing her hope.
She just can't deal, she just can't cope.
The world keeps barging in, it's cruel walls closing in.
And it seems that she just can't win.
But there's someone there she just can't see.
She overlooks, to blinded by her misery.
There's someone there who tells her to hold on,
To look past the dark, and see the dawn.
She wants to feel at peace, to go home.
She's so tired of being left alone.
She wants to feel alive again,
She just isn't quite sure if she can.
But there's someone there she just can't see.
She overlooks, to blinded by her misery.
There's someone there who tells her to hold on,
To look past the dark, and see the dawn.
She suddenly opens her eyes and finally sees,
That maybe life isn't as cruel as it's made out to be.
She finally finds that home she's searched for.
The one that she couldn't believe she could ever ignore.
And she finally held on,
Looked past the dark and saw the dawn.
She finally finds the home she's searched for, for so long.
She couldn't believe she hadn't known all along.
