lyrics

Listen, listen to my words
'Cause I'm not gonna say this twice
When everything's looking down on you
You gotta make yourself a sacrifice

The world keeps turning and it don't look back
Keep on moving to get back on track

Everything is coming up my way
I've been waiting so long for my change
Open up the clouds to a brighter day
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Tell me, tell me what have we done
Falling behind, we've lost our mind
Look to the one who's fighting you
The mastermind is inclined; he's so unkind

Walk it out, talk it out; do what you can
Gotta tough it out and become a man

Everything is coming up my way
I've been waiting so long for my change
Open up the clouds to a brighter day
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, live it up, give it up; do what you can
I'm not just giving it in, no
The sun is out, time is out; time to be a man
My time is about to begin, oh

Everything is coming up my way (my way, my-my way)
I've been waiting so long for my change (my change)
Open up the clouds to a brighter day
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, you know it's gonna be ok
I'm gonna take you, take you to a better day
Any day with you is a better day
Better day with you
Hey yeah, hey yeah, hey yeah
Oh alright, oh alright, oh yeah
Oh it's alright here now
It's a better day
A better, better, better day
A better, a better, a better day
A better day, oh
