| She wakes up some days life is cruel
|
| She’s on a chain gang sittin' in a typing pool
|
| And her brain feels all dragged down
|
| The gossip flies, the coffee’s stale
|
| She wants to run outside and scream like hell
|
| 'Til it turns her luck around
|
| Doesn’t matter how insane it gets
|
| She’s got one dream and her sights set, she says
|
| I’m just waitin' for it
|
| I’m just makin' sure that my heart’s steady as a drum
|
| Brighter days are dawnin'
|
| My faith’s holding strong, and I’ll be ready when it comes
|
| He drives around the block a thousand times
|
| He can’t go home 'til he clears his mind
|
| And his supper’s cold by now
|
| The doctor’s words crash through his ears
|
| About a treatment plan and a lot of years
|
| He will live to see somehow
|
| He gathers all his friends and family
|
| He says, wrap your lovin' arms around me
|
| I know I can do this
|
| Love will get me through this, my heart’s steady as a drum
|
| Brighter days are dawnin'
|
| My faith’s holding strong, and I’ll be ready when it comes
|
| One light shinin' that is brighter than the sun
|
| Way down deep inside the heart of everyone
|
| I reach past my troubles for the strength to carry on
|
| And find that what I need was right there all along
|
| I’m just waitin' for it
|
| I’m just makin' sure that my heart’s steady as a drum
|
| Brighter days are dawnin'
|
| My faith’s holding strong, I’ll be ready when it comes
|
| Yes, I will
|
| Gonna be ready now
|
| Yeah, I’m gonna be ready now
|
| When it comes, when it comes
|
| My faith is holding strong
|
| Brighter days are dawnin'
|
| My faith is holding strong, and
|
| I’m gonna be ready when it comes |
