This song is a duet with my Brazilian friend Paulo Nunes de Moura. The song was co-written with Paulo who wrote the musical refrain with lyrics in Portuguese.

Story behind the song
We wanted to make a recording and felt we could use a Latin rhythm and the subject matter was simply instinctive to the tune.
Lyrics
Better Days (are coming soon)
Um dia, melhores dias,
Um dia, melhores dias
Um dia, melhores dias,
Um dia, melhores dias
have you seen the news?
the terrible things
the world is a mess
people are crazed
you have to keep something for yourself
and hope that
pray that
better days, better days are coming soon
better days, better days are coming soon
do you feel inside
you could break down the walls?
you could tear them right down
and stand ten feet tall
If I have learned something for myself
It’s to hope that
pray that
better days, are coming better days are coming soon
better days are coming, better days are coming soon.
better days are coming, better days are coming soon
better days are coming, better days are coming soon.
Bridge
If we could learn to live together
without destruction in our sights
If we could seek to help each other
moving from the wrong into the right.
Instrumental
If I have learned something for myself
It’s to hope that
pray that
better days are coming, better days are coming soon. (Maybe they’re coming soon)
better days are coming, better days are coming soon.
better days are coming, better days are coming soon
better days are coming, better days are coming soon.
Um dia, melhores dias,
Um dia, melhores dias
Um dia, melhores dias,
Um dia, melhores dias
