A Brighter World

Baby, it seemed like the day would never end
working so hard for what little we can spend

I can’t pretend it doesn’t get to me
I can’t play that game with you
but I feel strong beside you

            Hold me, hold me tighter
            make my heavy heart a little lighter
            we’ll leave this yesterday behind
            tomorrow we might find
            a brighter world

I’ve read the story of struggle on your face
you fight your battles with dignity and grace

I know it’s hard to keep these dreams alive
but it won’t always be this way
and I’ll be strong beside you

            (chorus)

When I first met you this love grew strong and free
we’ve learned some lessons and sometimes we disagree

Maybe it’s not what love’s supposed to be
not some fairy tale come true
but I feel strong beside you

            Hold me, hold me tighter
            make my heavy heart a little lighter
            we’ll leave this yesterday behind
            tomorrow we might find
            a brighter world

            Hold me tighter
            make this dark night a little lighter
            we’ll leave this yesterday behind
            tomorrow we might find
            a brighter world
