Better Days

Yesterday I heard this song on the radio by the Goo Goo Dolls. I've probably heard it half a dozen times, but I never listened to the words until that moment. It is so fitting for our situation, but also very hopeful.
And you ask me what I want this year
and I try to make this good and clear
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
and designer love and empty things,
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

Chorus:
so take these words
and sing out loud
cause everyone is forgiven now
cause tonight's the night the world begins again

and its someplace simple where we could live
and something only you can give
and let's faith and trust and peace while we're alive
and the one poor child who saved this world
and there's 10 million more who probably could
if we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

Chorus:
so take these words
and sing out loud
cause everyone is forgiven now
cause tonight's the night the world begins again
I wish everyone was loved tonight
and somehow stop this endless fight
just a chance that maybe we'll find better days


I hope, My Love, that this song is some how comforting to you today.

The formatting showed up a little strange, but I can still read the words.

Definitely fitting. I could certainly use some comfort today.
