Best Days

Best Days Don't give in to giving up Times are hard, for most of us But its who you are when things get tough And how you carry on Every blessing is a curse And I fear each day it could get worse So I count the ones that I love first And we try to get along And there's so much Left to learn Its just covered up in cheap, old paint So you couldn't see the rust I watch the fire burn, But through the smoke I choose to trust That our best days, are ahead of us I went to see my old man, He's unaware that the world is damned Still drinking beer out of a can And stays close to his chest This year brings us a baby boy And the day he's born is not his choice But in his smile, we shall rejoice Cause he don't know the world's a mess There's so much to clean up They just swept it underneath the rug So you couldn't see the dust I watch the sun go down But in the dark I choose to trust That our best days, are ahead of us I laid my head on the battlefield With the ghosts of soldiers that were killed Each fighting for their own ideals But they didn't die in vain So much left to learn Its just covered up in cheap, old paint So you couldn't see the rust I watch the fire burn But through the smoke I choose to trust That our best days, are ahead of us Yeah our best days, are ahead of us
