    Better Year

    by: Adrienne Pierce

    Wally’s all night grocery is doing well
    Magazines and chocolate can't be hard to sell
    Dollar for the news of disaster and war
    Sometimes I wonder what I buy it for
    It's gonna be a better year
    Better than the last one dear
    Take it easy, it's all right
    Take it easy, it‚s all right
    This little apartment has a pretty good view
    Neighbor’s kids are fighting but they always do
    Watching as they pile into the yellow bus
    Can't believe next year there will be three of us
    Gonna be a better year
    Better than the last one dear
    Take it easy, it's all right
    Take it easy, it‚s all right
    And if the weight on your back is too much for you
    Do what all the happy people do
    Hold the one you love by your side
    And let it ride
    It's all right, take it easy
    Days have gotten short, the amaryllis blooms
    There’s a tranquil blue light in these tiny rooms
    Every day we hear of a new tragedy
    So I am surprised happiness has crept up on me
    Everything will be ok
    Feel it in my bones today
    Take it easy, it's all right
    Take it easy, it‚s all right
    And if the weight on your back is too much for you
    Do what all the happy people do
    Hold the one you love by your side
    And let it ride
    It’s all right, take it easy
    It’s all right, take it easy
