it's gonna be a brighter day
i know it's gonna be a brighter day
cuz little johnny was born today
and he's gonna be the one
to find us a better way
looking into mama's eyes
all he sees is the tears she cries
don't have a clue what really lies ahead
is he gonna have to find his way
his guns and drugs are gettin carried away
these are things that keep running trough
mama's head
i know it's gonna be a brighter day
cuz little johnny was born today
and he's gonna be the one
to find us a better way
he's gonna need a little time to grow
but little johnny's got tomorrow
and i know his gonna be the one
to find us a better way
now listen as the siren goes by
it's another mothers turn to cry
oh why did we ever let the world turn so
cold, no no no...
well i know johnny's gonna make a change
he knows the road he's gotta rearrange
to make it better for his kids
when he gets old
i know it's gonna be a brighter day...
