Better Day

by Eddie Vedder

I feel part of the universe open up to meet me
My emotion so submerged, broken down to kneel in
Once listening, the voices they came
Had to somehow greet myself, read myself
Heard vibrations within my cells, in my cells singing, "Ah-la-ah-ah, ah-la-ah-ah"

My love is safe for the universe
See me now, I'm bursting
On one planet, so many turns
Different worlds singing, "Ah-la-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah"

Fill my heart with discipline
Put there for the teaching
In my head see clouds of stairs
Help me as I'm reaching the future's paved with better days

Not running from something
I'm running towards the day wide awake

A whisper once quiet
Now rising to a scream right in me

I'm falling, free falling
Words calling me up off my knees

I'm soaring and, darling,
You'll be the one that I can need still be free

Our future's paved with better days
