Shining Bright

Words and Music by Brent Godfrey and Mark Van Der Linden

It seems like the world is a messed up place these days. However, I try to stay optimistic and see the light at the end of the tunnel, shining bright.

lyrics

Life is hard sometimes
But we can get through it
Just need to stick to it
I can see a light shining bright
At the end of the tunnel

Unemployment welfare lines
People scared a sign of the times
People living out on the street
Searching for food and a place to sleep
Not much separating them from us
Only a streak of real bad luck
Sometimes you need some help
To make it through another day.

Out on patrol in the heat of the sun
Will this war ever be won
Friends are dying every day
What will happen when we go away
Did we make a difference I know we tried
Pain suffering and tears so many we’ve cried
Oh, give me strength
To make it through another day.

Politicians promising change
Lies and more lies nothing changes
Doesn’t matter what party wins
Divided we fall again and again
Special interests’ money rules
Do they think we are their fools
No matter what party wins
We will survive
We will survive
