Pray That Soon Will Come Better Days

PRAY THAT SOON WILL COME BETTER DAYS Soldiers on patrol- drones on radio control… They gain ground…as walls come crumbling down Fire streaks through the night- embers burn in daylight… They all lose their minds… watching innocents die Chorus Well I just don’t understand, what they’re fighting for After counting the lost lives, have they really WON the war? After all’s been said and done, and the sand’s blown away (You’ve got to) pray ... there will soon come better days See the mothers weep- their dead strewn on the street They mourn so forlorn, the day they were born The tears not only flow- but, they just grow and grow Where hope’s an absurd word that is rarely heard Chorus Well I just don’t understand, what they’re fighting for! After counting the lost lives, have they really WON the war? After all’s been said and done… and the sand’s blown away… (You’ve got to) pray ... there will soon come better days Running through their veins, ecstasy and cocaine, Thugs are so smug, selling them their drugs The mirror speaks so clear- the enemy’s still here Survivals chance is slim, as he looks back at him Chorus Well I just don’t understand, what they’re fighting for! After counting the lost lives, have they really WON the war? After all’s been said and done… and the sand’s blown away… (You’ve got to) pray... there will soon come better days (You’ve got to) pray... there will soon come better days John Derek Hamilton January 05,2019
