"Better Day" was written as a tribute to the victims of the recent earthquake/tsunami disaster in Japan. It's simple...we love to make music and we wanted to put that passionate energy towards a positive cause. They say that music is a universal language, which is why we are using our music to connect to the world. We spent countless hours in the studio and put a lot of heartfelt, positive energy into this project in hopes that our music will not only raise awareness around the tragic events, but will motivate people to take action. Each donation, whether big or small, makes a difference. Help to rebuild Japan today. Spread the word. Take action.

Lyrics:

another day will follow, and so we pray /
tomorrow will be a better day, say tomorrow will be a better day /
tomorrow will be a better day /
another day will follow, and so we pray /

just imagine /
for a moment just imagine the damage destruction hysteria /
people trying to survive Good Morning America /
this for Japan, just like Haiti and Katrina /
food, clothes, shelter and bottles of Aquafina /
from the earthquakes and the tsunamis /
trying to be creative with paper like origami /
when the smokes clears, after the aftershocks /
when media leaves Japans the after thought /
from tabernacles to temples burning incense /
asking the Lord to put Japan on his wish-lists /
for the innocent gone in an instant /
for the mothers cry heard from a distance /
and if your listening then your assistance /
is needed for those existing in JA /
i know feel like everything been washed away /
keep ya head up tomorrow will be a better day

another day will follow, and so we pray /
tomorrow will be a better day, say tomorrow will be a better day /
tomorrow will be a better day /
another day will follow, and so we pray /

so we sleep / wake up to see the sun again /
i know some fathers wishing they could see they son again /
heard about the schools with the children missing /
got me thinking about the families that miss them /
right now, Japan that's where my hearts at /
so i pray wishing i could put on that hard hat /
and construct remedy / rebuild the imagery /
ever seen the power of spreading positive energy? /
my girlfriend wondering what got into me /
call that my inner G / i even love my enemies /
didn't have to wait on the cosign from Oprah /
for me to write a rhyme to bring the whole world closer /
and if your listening your assistance /
is needed for those existing in JA /
feels like everything been washed away /
keep ya head up tomorrow will be a better day

another day will follow, and so we pray /
tomorrow will be a better day, say tomorrow will be a better day /
tomorrow will be a better day /
another day will follow, and so we pray /

feels like your dreams got washed away /
tomorrow will be a better day /
tomorrow will be a better day / say tomorrow will be a better day /
better day /
feels like your dreams got washed away /
tomorrow will be a better day /

another day will follow, and so we pray /
tomorrow will be a better day, say tomorrow will be a better day /
tomorrow will be a better day /
another day will follow, and so we pray /
