(Its gonna be a brighter day)

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
(a better way, a better way)

Lookin' in his mama's eyes
All he sees is the tears she cries
Don't have a clue what really lies ahead (oh no)
Is he gonna have to find his way
Cuz guns n drugs r getting carried away
These are things that keep runnin' through mama's head
(No no no no no no no)

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
(a better way) (Y.A. help me sing)
He's gonna need a little time to grow
But little Johnny's got tomorrow
And I know, he's gonna be the one to find us a better way
(a better way, a better way) (Y.A. help me sing)

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
(so cold, so cold)
Well I know Johnny's gonna make a change
He knows the road he's got to rearrange
To make it better for his kids when he gets old
(No no no no no no no)

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
(a better way, a better way) (Y.A. help me sing)
He's gonna need a little time to grow (ooh yea ooh yea)
But little Johnny's got tomorrow
And I know, he's gonna be the one to find us a better way
(a better way, a better way) (Y.A. help me)

How'd we ever let the world turn so cold
People fightin and killing at twelve years old
Don't you dare let the devil steal your soul
Take you from the light and put you in contr
