A
Better
Tomorrow
As jaws of hell consume our city streets
Division reigns within all fifty states
But hope for change within my heart still beats
Perhaps in your heart, too, it resonates
November ushers in a choice to make
That could, in fact, restore tranquility
Releasing blazing cities from their stake
As embers fade, we’ll find humanity
I’ve faith a new leader will take control
Eliminate mistrust and speak the truth
He’ll chart a path that’s sure to make us whole
Restoring calm to disenchanted youth
If polls are right, we’ll end our Civil War
Serenity’s within our grasp once more
