Better Days, Dead Ahead

Better days, dead ahead
Don't let these things slow you down
Pick yourself up again and again
Because you'll fall overboard and possibly drown

Better days, dead ahead
Fighting with all your power and might
Never to see the sun setting fast
Just believe that soon land is in sight

Better days, dead ahead
No time for chatter, no time for a break
Opportunity calls for a moment of ease
But back on your feet, your heart is at stake!

Better days, dead ahead
Just watch the horizon, the moon always sets
A brother is lost at sea but soon will find you
He knows of some things and how hard it gets

Better days, dead ahead
Set course for victory at sea
This hurricane will die soon and pray it does fast
For things will go up, just wait, just wait and see...
