In The Days We Have

Jim Peterik


Welcome to the world
Take your seats
We're sitting ringside
Time to face the day
Can't look away
While there's a chance to make it right
No freedom comes without a price
It won't be long
We all have gone a little crazy
Time to stop the tide
Appreciate each other for who we are
This fighting, it's all gone too far

Before it slips away
Let's find the words we've been living to say

In the days we have
Let's put our tears aside
Bring all the love we can
To the moments that shape our lives
We can try and make the world a better place
I know a way through our hopes and prayers
In the days we have (in the days we have)
In the days we have

Lie here in my arms
A little longer little lady
Time is rushing by, take your time
Close the curtains for a change
Get away from this insane parade

We've only ourselves to blame
When the sand in the hourglass is down to one grain

In the days we have
Let's celebrate these sights
Bring all the love we can
Leave all the tears behind
We can try and make the world a better place
I know a way
If we all join hands
In the days we have (in the days we have)
In the days we have

It's time for putting the bad times aside
Our differences don't count for much
Next to what we stand to lose
Be strong, it's time to admit we were wrong (time to admit we were wrong)

In the days we have
Let's put our tears aside
Bring all the love we can
To the moments that shape our lives
In the days we have
Let's celebrate these sights
Value the ones we love
Make every moment shine
There's a thousand ways to make a man speak easy of another friend
I know that you can
We can try and make the world a better place
I know a way
If we all join hands
In the days we have
In the days we have
