Better Days Ahead

Song written by Ryan Kelly

So you’ve hit your rock bottom and find you’ve
two floors ……to go
Four walls fall around, you cancel the shows
Go home, wear your shame, (and) die in your bed
Grab the beads and keep prayin’ for better days ahead..

Better days a-h-e-a-d……
Better days a-h-e-a-d
For you’ll stand and be proud
You’ll belong to the crowd
When your head’s never bowed
And you sing it out loud…..
Please be better days ahead.

Feel like you can’t see the woods for the trees……
A voice from the island lifts you up off your knees
Let the light in, push the darkness away
For your past won’t define you, start your story today….
(Cos there’s) Better days a-h-e-a-d……

Better days a-h-e-a-d
For you’ll stand and be proud
You’ll belong to the crowd
When your head’s never bowed
And you sing it out loud…..
For better days ahead.

Bridge :
You’ll rise again
Dark times always end
Hope is your friend
And you’ll fear no more….

No one said it’d be easy when you start on this road
But the people around you, help you carry the load
They’ll show you the exit, your path through this maze
And they’ll be waiting to greet you, on those better days

Better days a-h-e-a-d……
Better days a-h-e-a-d
For you’ll stand and be proud
You’ll belong to the crowd
When your head’s never bowed
And you sing it out loud…..

There’ll be better days ahead.
