A Good Life

Open the conversation
Hearing what they say
Maybe I'm ashamed
And no, I can't explain why I feel this way
Ashamed of my toleration
Laugh and turn away
In my life, I wanna teach you what's right
So you won't be the same

And I get scared for the world you were born into
All the good deeds get lost in time
I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you a good life

Take all your resolutions
And hold them near
As we begin ringin' in another new year
And turn off the television
Become who you are
All I can do is promise you a better start

And I get scared for the world you were born into
All the good deeds get lost in time
Still, I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you a good life
And I get scared for the world you were born into
While you stand wide-eyed in the doorway
I'm a fool to believe I promised you a good life

And I get scared for the world you were born into
All the good deeds get lost in time
Still, I hope and I pray 'cause I promised you a good life
And I get scared for the world you were born into
While you stand wide-eyed in the doorway
I'm a fool to believe I promised you a good life
