Things Look Brighter

she doesn't want to be

dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea

brave hearted girl

goes out to take on the world

but comes home crying every time

she doesn't sleep at night

she's afraid to close her eyes

I see her walking in the street sometimes

she knows about suffering

and all about sorrow

she's starving for the beautiful things

that people seem to believe in

she doesn't want to be

dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea

how long?

waited way too long

(don't let them fool you)

brave hearted girl

goes out to take on the world

but comes home crying every time

we're walking in the rain

she turns to me tos ay

I hope tomorrow doesn't feel this way

she's heard about happiness

she's heard about Jesus

she's starving for the beautiful things

that people seem to believe in

she doesn't want to be

dead in the water, yet she swims out to sea
