Lyrics

A Better Place
Dan Pettis

In every life, there comes a time of great sorrow
We muster the strength, to help us live through tomorrow
Toss the hurt over our shoulder
And struggle to face the world again

You my friend, once you have things in order
Extend your lease, head down south of the border
Do everything you need to do
To let your emotions follow you

You must fly
You can fly away
You must fly away to a better place
You can fly (You can fly, over the ocean)
You can fly
You must find your way
Back to the human race

My old friend, you’re on a journey to somewhere
(Over the rainbow)
Now is the chance, to move your soul to a higher plane
Our fondest memories still remain
Nothing here should hold you

You must fly
You can fly away
You must fly away to a better place
You can fly (You can fly, over the ocean)
You can fly
You must fly away
From the human race

We must move beyond ourselves
Of mortal sins, and man-made hells
To cleanse ourselves
If we dare to amend ourselves
We cannot hold our loved ones here
With selfish pride that breeds our fear
Of the great unknown
Surely they’re in a better place
Than you and I

In every life, there comes a time of great sorrow
You must try to replace today with tomorrow
Hold your dreams in your pockets
Empty them out when you see the sun

You must fly
You can fly away
You must fly away to a better place
You can fly (You can fly, over the ocean)
You can fly
You must find your way
Back to the human race
You must find a way
To a better place
