Better Than Today Lyrics

I got high hopes that tomorrow
Is gonna be better than today
It don't look like it's comin' I know
Why not believe it anyway

Call it a prayer, call it a dream
Call it a leap of faith call it anything
I got high hopes that tomorrow is gonna be better than today

Break

I got two hands that ain't afraid to work hard
And I jump out of bed every day
I know these times are real hard
Lookin' on the bright side always pays

Call it a prayer, call it a dream
Call it a leap of faith call it anything
I got high hopes that tomorrow is gonna be better than today

Break

I know it's dry, but that's gonna change
No I ain't felt a drop but I can smell the rain
Call it a prayer, call it a dream
Call it a leap of faith call it anything

I got high hopes that tomorrow is gonna be better than today
It don't look like it's comin' I know
Why not believe it anyway
Oh why not believe it anyway
