I'm a living sunset 
Lightning in my bones
Push me to the edge 
But my will is stone 
'Cause I believe in a better way

Fools will be fools 
And wise will be wise 
But I will look this world 
Straight in the eyes 
I believe in a better way
I believe in a better way

What good is a man 
Who won't take a stand 
What good is a cynic 
With no better plan 
I believe in a better way
I believe in a better way

(Hope these words feel pleasant as they rest upon your ears)
(Hope these words feel pleasant as they rest upon your ears)
(Upon your ears, upon your ears, upon your ears, upon your ears)

Reality is sharp 
It cuts at me like a knife 
Everyone I know 
Is in the fight of their life 
And I believe in a better way

Take your face out of your hands 
And clear your eyes 
You have a right to your dreams 
And don't be denied 
I believe in a better way 
I believe in a better way
I believe in a better way
