They were better days We had better ways Back in the days you made You made me whole It's dark inside Your beautiful mind Even though the sun came out Came out just now Now you're painting pictures About all that is right I know time is up But these are different times Gonna rip the world open Make everything right I still pray i still pray For better days For better days For better days For better days I know i was fun And yet i was young Knee deep in mud Kissing all All dirt away Now you're painting pictures About all that you could To love is so hard To love is so good Gonna rip the world open Make everything right I still pray i still pray For better days For better days For better days For better days You were so strong You were so strong You were so strong We were so wrong Now you're painting pictures About all that is right I know time is up But these are different times Gonna rip the world open Make everything right I still pray i still pray For better days
