A Better Man

Dancing there in the eastern sky Where the joy and dreams of my future lie Shine the rays of a sun which bring’s new hope into my life With warming glow that fills my heart Comes gift of another day to start And I see the truth - that I’m among the lucky ones There are times in my day when I may lose sight My joy fades as to the dark of night And I think perhaps my dreams have passed me by But with the dawn of each new day I find once more a chance to pray “Dear lord let me live each moment as if it were my last” “Let me set aside my foolish pride And with day’s end be pleased I tried To give my best in everything I do” I shall lay at night in peaceful rest With joyful heart that I passed the test Of giving my best to become a better man
