BETTER VIEW
Everyone wants to have a place in the sun and a way to make it clear.
No that you're not the only one who's left standing over there.

YOU KNOW THAT DAY BY DAY, THE SUN WILL COME THRU, IF YOU KEEP ON TRYING TO GET A BETTER VIEW.
All of us trying to catch the light before the dying of the day.

REFRAIN (2x)
