You'll See a Much Brighter Day words and music by Bill Pere When you least expect them, all the colors of the spectrum Pick the places all around you that you thought were lying fallow And the flowers, fields, and clover show that God is watching over us all Even when the rains come and you feel that lonely pain sometimes... Sometimes, the gray clouds fill the skies And rain reflects the teardrops in your eyes But God made the rainfall to water the plants So the flowers would grow and we'd all have a chance To watch the flowers bloom and see The colors wash the grayness away And if you put your faith in His love You'll see a much brighter day... The yellow pale of moonglow on the wane as winter winds blow And the silk and silver white clouds become gray and silent night shrouds That obscure the Heaven's beacon and you find that you are seekin' something Safe and sure when night comes you feel something isn't right sometimes... Sometimes, we seek a guiding light And find ourselves surrounded by the night But God made the night so we could watch the sun rise And see the pictures it's painting upon the morning skies With rich vermilion reds and blues That wash all the grayness away And if you put your faith in His love You'll see a much brighter day... The color maze of rainbows and the maize gold of the corn rows Fade to gray off in the distance, it seems just another instance Of a road that's never ending cause it's always winding, bending With directions that are wrong as you go wandering along the road... The road seems long and hard at times It seems that we can never make the climb But God made the hill steep so it could lift us up high And we can stand at the top and feel like we can fly And look down at that verdant land Washing the grayness away And if you put your faith in His love You'll see a much brighter day... © Bill Pere.
