Song Description

The listener has given up, lost people they love due to poor communication and can't go on. They feel lost. If they keep on giving and open their hearts, they will get back on track and their life will improve. What they are going through is an illusion and love will help them see through it.

Lyrics

Better Days
Written by: Jennifer Richman

Say you've given up you can't go on
No direction, no place to call home
Lost your faith, you can't get it back
Just keep on giving, you'll get back on track

Illusion is what you see
Keep on lovin', it will set you free

Better days,
there will be better days
Better days,
there will be better days
The sun will shine,
you'll feel the rays
Dont worry baby,
there will be better days

Lost in yourself you lost ones you love most
Communication down, you feared approach
Give it a chance, open your heart
Can't change the past but it's a sure way to start

Illusion is what you see
Keep on lovin', it will set you free

Better Days,
there will be better days
Better Days,
there will be better days
The sun will shine
you'll feel the rays
Don't worry baby,
there will be better days

Don't you think it's worth the time
to look inside
Stop using everyone to fill the
empty you hide
Only you can change your life

So now you see that finally you have a chance
And you realize it's all in your hands
With so much love to give, you can't go wrong
So just be yourself and sing along
Illusion is what you see
Keep on lovin', it will set you free

Better Days,
there will be better days
Better Days,
there will be better days
The sun will shine,
you'll feel the rays
Don't worry baby, there will be better days
