When life is good again I'll be a better friend A bigger person when Life is good again More thoughtful than I've been I'll be so different then More in the moment when Life is good again I'll open up my heart And let the whole world in I'll try to make amends When life is good again We've been brought to our knees We've been so ill at ease There are no guarantees But you know life goes on This too shall pass away Bring new and different days We need to change our ways And right our wrongs Let's open up our hearts And let the whole world in Let's try to make amends When life is good again I'll open up my doors again And hear the message in the wind Repent of all my sins (Hallelujah) When life is good again I'll try to be someone On which you can depend A helping hand to lend Let's open up our eyes And see what's goin' on If we're to move along From where we've been Let's open up our hearts And let the love shine in (Shine in) We've all got knees to bend And we'll just pray till then Ask God's forgiveness when Life is good again And it's gonna be good again (It's gonna be, it's gonna be) It's gonna be good again It'll be alright (It'll be alright) God's the reason for all things You want rainbows, you get rain We'll all be forever changed (Forever changed) I'll sail my boat and fly my kite Walk in the park, go out at night And hold my loved ones extra tight When everything is on the mend I'll eat and drink with my old friends Sing and play my mandolin We'll make it through this long dark night Darkness fades when faced with light But everything's gonna be alright When life is good again
