0:10When life is good again
0:13I'll be a better friend
0:16A bigger person when
0:19Life is good again
0:21More thoughtful than I've been
0:24I'll be so different then
0:27More in the moment when
0:30Life is good again
0:33I'll open up my heart

0:39And let the whole world in

0:56We've been brought to our knees
0:58We've been so ill at ease
1:01There are no guarantees
1:04But you know life goes on

3:36I'll even drink with my old friends
3:39Sing and play my mandolin
3:45We'll make it through this long dark night
3:48Darkness fades when faced with light
3:51But everything's gonna be alright
3:54When life is good again
3:56♪
