Yesterday I walked a mean street

Looking for a long lost heart beat

Came upon a poor music man just singing



God brought it all together

How we used to play forever

I felt every song I've sung come ringing



You know it's been so long since I felt it in my soul

But from this day on my life is on a roll

If someone stands up just to let the spirit flow

Then a better day is coming



I came home and shared my feeling

You said there's a new world stealing

Open up and let the light just fill us



You know it's been so long since we felt it in our soul

But from this day on our life is on a roll

If we all stand up just to let the spirit flow

Then a better day is coming



There's a world unseen though we know it very well

Where there's harmony that no one can buy and sell

When our voices rise in the innocence of song

Then a better day is coming



We held on through some awful years

We can wait 'til our day appears



You know it's been so long since we felt it in our soul

But from this day on our life is on a roll

If we all stand up just to let the spirit flow

Then a better day is coming



And in this broken world where we have so much to grieve

We must try so hard to believe what we believe

If we keep a dream of how good it all can be

Then a better day is coming



You know it's been so long since I felt it in my soul

But from this day on my life is on a roll

If someone stands up just to let the spirit flow

Then a better day is coming



And in this world of grieving

We must try believing

If we keep our dreams

Then a better day is coming



A better day is coming

Brighter world is dawning

If we all stand up
