me against the world

And you asked me what I want this year
And I’ll try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe
We’ll find better days

‘Cause I don’t need boxes wrapped in strings
Designer love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe
We’ll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
‘Cause tonight’s the night
The world begins again

I need someplace simple where we could live
And something only you could give
And that’s faith and trust and peace while we’re
Alive

And the one poor child who saved this world
There’s 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we’ll
Find better days
