Till I Reach a Better Day

Each day is like the rest I miss Yesterday, look forward to today, I cannot wait for tomorrow All I see through the windows are men and women working behind counters Each street corner filled with a sad faces looking for a dollar for his supper Tall buildings above with the rich cast a long shadow over me Unseen devils walking next to us Like me, melancholy wakes and roams around the world A tour across the world and back in 24 hours The loud hooting horns across the street to an innocent pedestrian A new life is born as some retire to the afterlife Around me, within me and above me I will keep the light before me Till I reach a better day My feet will never grow restless Do not look for me in my home These eyes will not be pleased Endless is the mission To change the lives our brother and sister Knock down the door of heaven and share its splendour Till I reach a better day my friend No greater peace will I know
