Mike Baker - A Better Life is Coming Lyrics

I don't know the timeline
But I know the tide
Something ancient in my blood
Says the hurt will subside

I've walked through hollow winters
With psalms stuck in my throat
But the wind has started humming
In a softer, sacred note

It's not loud, it's not golden
But it's carved in every breath
And I'm starting to remember
What it means to rise from death

A better life is coming
Like thunder under skin
Not perfect, not polished
But it's where I begin
A better life is coming
Like fire caught in drums
And I'll be there to meet it
When it comes

I've built my hope from splinters
From ash and smoke and sound
And somehow in the breaking
I finally found the ground

Hope is in the rhythm
Of a breath you didn't plan
It's the beat that keeps on pulsing
When you don't think you can

A better life is coming
Like thunder under skin
Not perfect, not polished
But it's where I begin
A better life is coming
Like fire caught in drums
And I'll be there to meet it
When it comes

I'll be there to meet it
Barefoot in the light
Let it take me whole
Let it set me right
