Best Days
Sadler Vaden Lyrics

Don't give in to giving up
Do not succumb to the urge of giving up

Times are hard, for most of us
The current times are difficult for the majority of people

But its who you are when things get tough
Your true character is revealed when facing tough situations

And how you carry on
And how you continue to persevere

Every blessing is a curse
There is a downside to every positive thing

And I fear each day it could get worse
I worry that each day may bring worsening circumstances

So I count the ones that I love first
So I prioritize and value my loved ones

And we try to get along
And we make efforts to maintain harmony

And there's so much
And there is a lot

Left to learn
Yet to be discovered or understood

Its just covered up in cheap, old paint
It is obscured or concealed by superficial, outdated facades

So you couldn't see the rust
To prevent you from noticing the decay or imperfections

I watch the fire burn
I observe the flames of destruction

But through the smoke I choose to trust
However, I decide to have faith or confidence

That our best days, are ahead of us
That our most promising and fulfilling days are yet to come

I went to see my old man
I visited my father figure

He's unaware that the world is damned
He is oblivious to the fact that the world is doomed

Still drinking beer out of a can
Continuing to consume canned beer

And stays close to his chest
And keeps his feelings or emotions guarded

This year brings us a baby boy
This year, a baby boy will be born into our lives

And the day he's born is not his choice
The day of his birth is not within his control

But in his smile, we shall rejoice
However, we will find joy in his smile

Cause he don't know the world's a mess
Because he is unaware of the chaotic state of the world

There's so much to clean up
There is a great deal of mess or clutter to address

They just swept it underneath the rug
They simply ignored or concealed it

So you couldn't see the dust
So you wouldn't notice the dirt or problems

I watch the sun go down
I observe the setting of the sun

But in the dark I choose to trust
However, in the absence of light, I decide to have faith

That our best days, are ahead of us
That our most promising and fulfilling days are yet to come

I laid my head on the battlefield
I rested my head on the site of conflict or struggle

With the ghosts of soldiers that were killed
Alongside the spirits of deceased soldiers

Each fighting for their own ideals
Each battling for their own beliefs or principles

But they didn't die in vain
However, their deaths were not without purpose

Yeah our best days, are ahead of us
Yes, our most promising and fulfilling days are yet to come
