Bright Times Are Comin'

(album: One More River To Cross - 1973)

Ain't it hard to be troubled
When things are going all wrong?
And you sit down and you think about
The dear ones that are gone

And you try to put yourself someplace
Someplace you cannot see
You just gotta try and live your life
And take what you receive

There are bright times a-coming
Through the grey sky up above
Then you lift your head up high
And the sun begins to shine

There are bright times a-coming
Through the grey sky up above
Then you lift your head up high
And the sun begins to shine

So the next time that you're troubled
Try and lend a helping hand
Giving something to some other one
Will make you more a man

What you give is what you get returned
You can't ask for any more
You realize you've done your best
Who could ask for more?

There are bright times a-coming
Through that grey sky high up above
Then you lift your head up high
And the sun begins to shine

Now, the sun is shining early
You know you're finally on your way
And you realize you made it
You got more to give today
