How do we go on
Living with all we've undone
The good, the bad
The half-assed, the well done

Can we survive
Past all the lies and half-truths
Everyone is another person's ghost
Haunting one another with our past lives

When I go to bed
I think about what could have been
Change this all around and start again

But there is no going back
It all happened and there's no take backs I'll live with what I've done and face the facts Everything is undone

Hey now we might find a better day now
One foot in front of the other
Hey now we might find a better day now
One hand stretched to another

It's easy to assume
That we're all doomed
Just watch the evening news
We should hate everyone

The days of our lives
Passing us by without even a try
Looking behind us for something that has passed Or some brighter future and greener grass

Fairy tales and lofty dreams
That we could all somehow turn this doomsday around

Our fears and shame
seem to be what drives this charade
Time to face ourselves and tell the truth Everything can come back

Hey now we might find a better day now
One foot in front of the other
Hey now we might find a better day now
One hand stretched to another

With our hands stretched out to others
With our prayers lifted for one another
With our love the same for others
With our care welcoming for another x2

Hey now we might find a better day now
One foot in front of the other
Hey now we might find a better day now
One hand stretched to another
