Better Year Lyrics by Sam Barber

Restless Mind

2024

[Intro]
(One, two, three, four)
[Verse 1]
If it's late and you hear me calling tonight
But I ain't right there and you're wondering why
I've made my way to the severed seas
Where the sun burns hot and the wind does sing
[Verse 2]
Days away from where I left
There's Heaven-sent eyes in a pickup bed
I'm trying harder to get on back
But the tide's moving in and God's pushing the raft
[Verse 3]
A thousand miles have worn my feet
And the body I hold ain't getting sleep
Your sweet touch moving closer to me
Well, it ain't what I got, but it's what I need
[Chorus]
Hold on, my dear
'Cause I'm fighting like hell to face my fears
Someday I'll tame the fires that brought me here
And it'll burn like hell, but it might as well
Be the last time that you're in tears
I'm betting on a better year
[Verse 4]
I'm so far into so many things
Lord, I pray someday I'll earn my wings
I've seen hell and been through greed
That's a part of me I hope you do not meet
[Verse 5]
Waste my breath on things I hate
Like an ongoing trap that I'll never escape
But I hope the words that I do sing
Leave a mark on you like a wedding ring
[Chorus]
Hold on, my dear
'Cause I'm fighting like hell to face my fears
Someday I'll tame the fires that brought me here
And it'll burn like hell, but it might as well
Be the last time that you're in tears
I'm betting on a better year
[Post-Chorus]
I'm betting on a better year
[Outro]
You know I dug my grave
I was buried alive with my dying faith
Your heart beats where I lay
And through you, it seems I've found my way
My dear, you'll see one day
All I've done is for Heaven's sake
