The Promise Of Each New Day

Farther and farther we're falling behind
Running a race on a course undefined
Scared of our shadows and whistling by graves
Counting on blessings we never have saved
Chorus

Holding out for hope
Clinging to that chance
Believing in the promise of each new day
Tales they told us just haven't come true
A world spinning faster just blurring the view
The days seem so long though the years are well-worn
Testing our faith in the eye of the storm
Chorus
Bridge
Johnny guitar solo
Chorus
Believing in the promise of each new day
