Song Title: (Promise of a Better Life)

 

I awoke from the warmth of my pillow today.
And I covered my eyes with my hands.
No rest for the weary but I'm hopeful again
With the promise of a better life.

I wrote you a letter with words of scorn,
But I stopped and I threw it away.
For if its not love and if its not yours
Still there's the promise of a better life.

I stood in the darkness a stone's throw from the light
And the glimmer it started to fade,
But a voice in my head always rescued me
With the promise of a better life.

Throw my ashes on the wind let them blow across the sea
I fear not the day that I die.
My bones may be dust but my soul lives on
With the promise of a better life.
