[Verse] well While... we are stuck here Might as well go make your way with cheer No use in giving into fear Just makin' the stay here hard See all kinds of beauty abounds In the soul of one that looks right 'round All the darkness easily found For a bright side shining through [Chorus] You make it heaven or hell With the stories that you tell yourself about your day Maybe the worst tragedy Can unlock the path to peace so it's best not to wait... [Verse] for... Better days Hopin' everything might just suddenly change not Knowing it's the view you take That makes the world you see see all kinds of kindness abounds In the life of one that's lookin' around Findin' silver linings with a sky high view from ground [Chorus] You make it heaven or hell With the stories that you tell yourself about your day Maybe the worst enemy Of all the joy you seek is wanting things to be your way... [driving breakdown] So you be the peace by ree leasing The Need for everything to be the way you want To finally get that piece of peace [Verse] Then on... to better days Where the external can't change The way you feel about your stay on this spinning rock in space Where all sorts of beauty is found Everywhere you go and look around By picking out the poetry Divine stories will stick out [New Driving Bridge and pattern change, emphasis on the 1] And then you'll see you needed every triumph, every tragedy! On the path to becoming the character you are Who's so beautiful!! when you see your place in the tapestry Of humanity's unfolding story You get a sense of why things are just as they are [chorus with words changed] And then make heaven from hell by tellin the stories you tell With the narrator's grace Who sees... [verse refrain] They're all... better days Though it seems that not much here has changed Just the way you feel about your stay in this weird and wild place in this weird and wild place
