Jim Martin: LISTEN!

When you're down
And you feel things cannot get worse
And the rest of the world
Shuns you like you're cursed
Take a deep breath and hold steady
Count to ten, then you'll be ready
Don't you cry
There'll be better days ahead

When you frown
Everything that you touch turns blue
And your eyes start to wilt
All the plants that grew
Turn around and crack that smile
Try to go that extra mile
Don't you cry
There'll be better days ahead

There'll be better days ahead
Take a deeper breath instead
Of always having cold feet
Just think the best because life is sweet
Better days ahead

There'll be times
You may think no one cares at all
There'll be times in your life
When you'll think you're small
Keep your chin up and remember
Life's too precious to surrender
Don't cry!
There'll be better days ahead

There'll be better days ahead
Try to work it out instead
Of always having cold feet
Just watch your step and forget deceit
Better days ahead
I said better days ahead

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh there'll be better days ahead
You'll be better off instead
Of always having cold feet
Just keep the faith because life is sweet
Better days ahead

When you're down
And you feel things cannot get worse
And the rest of the world
Shuns you like you're cursed
Keep your chin up and remember
Life's too precious to surrender
Don't cry!
There'll be better days ahead

Don't you cry
There'll be better days ahead,
Oh don't you cry
There'll be better days ahead.
