Best Days

Best Days
Don't give in to giving up
Times are hard, for most of us
But its who you are when things get tough
And how you carry on

Every blessing is a curse
And I fear each day it could get worse
So I count the ones that I love first
And we try to get along

And there's so much
Left to learn
Its just covered up in cheap, old paint
So you couldn't see the rust

I watch the fire burn,
But through the smoke I choose to trust
That our best days, are ahead of us

I went to see my old man,
He's unaware that the world is damned
Still drinking beer out of a can
And stays close to his chest

This year brings us a baby boy
And the day he's born is not his choice
But in his smile, we shall rejoice
Cause he don't know the world's a mess

There's so much to clean up
They just swept it underneath the rug
So you couldn't see the dust

I watch the sun go down
But in the dark I choose to trust
That our best days, are ahead of us

I laid my head on the battlefield
With the ghosts of soldiers that were killed
Each fighting for their own ideals
But they didn't die in vain

So much left to learn
Its just covered up in cheap, old paint
So you couldn't see the rust

I watch the fire burn
But through the smoke I choose to trust
That our best days, are ahead of us
Yeah our best days, are ahead of us
