Little Johnny

it’s gonna be a brighter day
i know it’s gonna be a brighter day
cuz little johnny was born today
and he’s gonna be the one
to find us a better way
looking into mama’s eyes
all he sees is the tears she cries
don’t have a clue what really lies ahead (oh no)
is he gonna have to find his way
his guns and drugs are gettin carried away
these are things that keep running trough
mama’s head
(no no no no no no no)
i know it’s gonna be a brighter day
cuz little johnny was born today
and he’s gonna be the one
to find us a better way
he’s gonna need a little time to grow
but little johnny’s got tomorrow
and i know his gonna be the one
to find us a better way
now listen as the siren goes by
it’s another mothers turn to cry
oh why did we ever let the world turn so cold (no no no)
well i know johnny’s gonna make a change
he knows the road he’s gotta rearrange
to make it better for his kids
when he gets old
i know it’s gonna be a brighter day
cuz little johnny was born today
and he’s gonna be the one
to find us a better way
he’s gonna need a little time to grow
but little johnny’s got tomorrow
and i know his gonna be the one
to find us a better way
i know it’s gonna be a brighter day
cuz little johnny was born today
and he’s gonna be the one
to find us a better way (ooooohhhh)
i know it’s gonna be a brighter day
