about

Despite all the anger and fury stirred up by 2016, we need to believe that we can rise above it. This song was written in two parts: It began with terrible news and remained unfinished until life turned around in the most beautiful of ways. Just like in that instance, this journey America makes will have its horrible turns. But we can't lose the belief that we can turn it around. Please take this as you like, and hold onto it for a rainy day. Keep your shoulders high.

lyrics

It's not a good day
I want to yell and scream till my head comes off

It's not a good day
I just want to watch you topple down from your throne

I just want the world to turn
So I see the next day rise
And hope it might be better than today

I need to breathe
I need to see that the
Worst of it will end
And I will make it to the next hill
With my shoulders high
And my pride is fine
Nothing in my way
There will be a better day

It's a good day
My spirit's high
My stride is guiding me to better days

It's a great day
I'm smiling wide
Nothing in the world could slow me down

The good days come around
When you least expect it
You just need to wait and your good day will come

I need to breathe
I need to see that the
Worst of it will end
And I will make it to the next hill
With my shoulders high
And my pride is fine
Nothing in my way
There will be a better day

The good days come around
When you least expect it
You just need to wait and your good day will come
The sun will rise
Sadness demise
If you just wait and see

I need to breathe
I need to see that the
Worst of it will end
And I will make it to the next hill
With my shoulders high
And my pride is fine
Nothing in my way
There will be a better day
