It's gonna be a brighter day
Bridge:
I know it's gonna be a brighter day
cuz little Johnny was born today
and he's gonna be the one
to find us a better way
Lokking into Mama's eyes
all he sees is the tears she cries
don't have a clue what really lies ahead
is he gonna have to find his way
his guns and drugs are getting carried away
these are things that keep running through
Mama's head
Chorus:
I know it's gonna be a brighter day
cuz little Johnny was born today
and he's gonna be the one
to find us a better way
he's gonna need a little time to grow
but little Johnny's got tomorrow
and I know his gonna be the one
to find us a better way
Now listen as the siren goes by
it's another mother's turn to cry
oh why did we ever let the world turn so
cold, no, no, no ...
well, I know Johnny's gonna make a change
he knows the road he's gotta rearrange
to make it better for his kids
when he gets old
Chorus:
I know it's gonna be a brighter day
cuz little Johnny was born today
and he's gonna be the one
to find us a better way
he's gonna need a little time to grow
but little Johnny's got tomorrow
and I know his gonna be the one
to find us a better way
Bridge:
I know it's gonna be a brighter day
cuz little Johnny was born today
and he's gonna be the one
to find us a better way
Chorus:
I know it's gonna be a brighter day

and he's gonna be the one
to find us a better way
he's gonna need a little time to grow

and I know his gonna be the one
to find us a better way
