  • 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 'til 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 even 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
