Better Day (feat. Brooke Combe)

Late at night, I'm wide-eyed, looking out my hotel window at the cars Whilst flicking through my phone, I find old videos of when I played the local bars From festivals to sell-out tours, believe me, I was never sure I'd get this far It's more than I was hoping for, and though there's still no open door, it's forced ajar Still I'm not a thing without the people, as they scream and shout Rid my mind of any doubt and inspire what I write about So, I stand up for the cause until I'm kicking down the door Using what I say to make a better day And I stand up for the people, 'cause everybody's equal Giving them a way to have a better day And next door, there's a union man noting down his points upon the pages This fella's nearly killed himself, puts members before health to get them fairer wages Arguing the truths, the man's now speaking on the news, he's moving up the stages In a world that really stinks, I think he could have been a leader for the ages Still his comrades holding signs, standing on their picket lines They're the ones who'll make him shine and help him beat managed decline So he stands up for the cause until he's kicking down the door Using what he says to make a better day And he stands up for the people, 'cause everybody's equal Giving them a way to have a better day Across the road, a volunteer leaves to work her local funded center Where people go to ease their woes, the lady stands to greet them as they leave and enter Their stories make her cry, but the woman really tries to be a grievance venter And after every session smiles, she feels she's taught a lesson, and she's glad she went there That's a place she wouldn't be if funding from community was alien to you and me Thank God there's still some empathy That's why you stand up for the cause until you're kicking down the door Using what you say to make a better day And you stand up for the people, 'cause everybody's equal Giving them a way to have a better day That's why you stand up for the cause until you're kicking down the door Using what you say to make a better day And you stand up for the people 'cause everybody's equal Giving them a way to have a better day Stand up for the cause until you're kicking down the door Using what you say to have a better day And stand up for the people, 'cause everybody's equal Giving them a way to have a better day Better day Better day Better day
