Putting Out The Vibration (and Hoping It Comes Home)

Richie Havens


Brighter days ahead
Step out from the shade
Brighter days ahead 
See what you have made
Of yourselves 
Of your lives

Brighter days ahead 
In these present eyes
Reach out from the haze
In these present eyes 
See what you have made
Of these days
Full of hate 
Full of strife

Brighter days ahead
See the morning from your knees
Peace at noontime saves the sun
See the evening if you please
Love and peace and life are one

Brighter days ahead 
Let all men realize
Brighter days ahead 
That this truth they prize
In their eyes 
In their eyes
Brighter days ahead
