Better Day
Saplings grown to trees
kneeling here on wounded knees
picking up the bones
the empty nest is still
fledglings had their fill
and flown away to other homes
chorus:
Just don't run away
live right here and stay
You'll never find a better day
the town is growing small
you find you know them all
as they're walking down your road
their faces moving by
you know their truths and lies and
what they've paid and what they owe
chorus
the television's on
with all their vision gone
they are living in the sounds
Memories fading fast
lying in the past and breathing
as you make your rounds
chorus
