Brighter Day Beyond the Line

Intro

Ohhh yeah yeah

Mmm let the sunshine fall upon the land

Can you hear the people calling

Can you feel the rhythm in your hand

Oh Lord guide us through the darkness

Let the love shine once again

Verse 1

I woke up this morning with the sun upon my face

Another day of living another time and place

The world keeps on turning but the people lose their way

They trade their love for money then they wonder why they stray

I see the mothers crying I see the children fall

I see the rich man building up another golden wall

But tell me what's the meaning of a life without a soul

You can own the whole world but you'll never own it all

Pre-Chorus

So don't let your heart grow cold

Don't let your spirit be sold

For every mountain we must climb

There's a brighter day beyond the line

Chorus

Rise above the storm my brother

Love one another love one another

When the rain comes falling down

Keep your feet upon the ground

Oh let the people sing

Let the freedom bells ring

No more hatred no more pain

Let the sunshine wash away the rain

Post-Chorus

Ohhh rise up rise up

Let your spirit never die

Ohhh rise up rise up

There's a brighter world beyond the sky

Verse 2

They put a price on freedom put a number on your name

They tell you who to follow then they tell you who's to blame

But a man with love inside him cannot be controlled

For the greatest kind of treasure cannot ever be sold

Some people chase the diamonds some people chase the gold

But the richest man is someone with a heart that isn't cold

Don't judge a man by the colour of his skin

Look into his heart and see the beauty within

Pre-Chorus

Oh the river keeps on flowing

And the seeds of love keep growing

Even when the nights are long

We will stand together strong

Chorus

Rise above the storm my brother

Love one another love one another

When the rain comes falling down

Keep your feet upon the ground

Oh let the people sing

Let the freedom bells ring

No more hatred no more pain

Let the sunshine wash away the rain

Bridge

One love for the broken-hearted

One love for the ones departed

One love for the lost and lonely

One love for the world below me

And if tomorrow never comes

Let the people know what we have done

We planted seeds beneath the sun

And now the healing has begun

Oh yeah

Can you feel it

Can you feel it now

Verse 3

When I'm old and looking backwards at the road that I have crossed

I don't want to count my riches I don't want to count my loss

I just want to know I gave a little kindness every day

And I left a little sunshine where the darkness used to stay

For the time is like a river it will never turn around

So make your peace with yesterday and let your love be found

The greatest song is written when the people stand as one

And the world becomes a better place beneath the same bright sun

Final Chorus

Rise above the storm my brother

Love one another love one another

When the rain comes falling down

Keep your feet upon the ground

Let the people sing

Let the freedom bells ring

No more hatred no more pain

Let the sunshine wash away the rain

Backing Vocals

One love one heart

We were never meant apart

One love one heart

Let a brand-new day now start

Outro

Ohhh yeah

The sun will shine again

Don't lose your faith my friend

For every ending there's a beginning

And every heart deserves some healing

One love

One heart

One world

Yeah yeah
