Good Days'll Come

Days grow long, and the nights grow long Well, whoever said that life was short? Chained to my bed and I don't brush my teeth 'Cause helpin' myself is a chore But I'm sure That good days will come, they will Now don't mean forever, now means now This feelin' like the weather will change Some days it shines and some days it's a downpour But it never stays the same It's all passin' Good days will come, they will My pessimism is talking Can't seem to tune him out There's a phrase that I hum to myself If ever I'm in trouble or doubt And it is "Good days will come, they will" "I've met the friend, and the friend is me" Is a line that Pema Chodron wrote I know what she meant, but I don't know what she means When myself and I aren't so close But I have hope That good days will come, they will If I am not my thoughts Then what does that make me? I am the one who reacts and responds Yes, I'm a separate entity A light beam Weigh my options, every step that I take When butterflies cause hurricanes How every action has a ripple effect That hinges on decisions I make Such a headache Good days will come, they will Forgiveness ain't on a timeline I won't find it overnight Though I'm not at my destination The path I'm on is feelin' alright It takes time Good days will come, they will I'll give it time Good days will come, they will
