Song information
A folk song in which I hoped to capture some of the folk tradition personified by Peter, Paul, and Mary… not that I put this on the same level as their classic tunes.

Many thanks to Richard and Roxanne for their wonderful vocal arrangements.

Lyrics
©️ Music and Lyrics by Jack Miller 2007
​Chords D – G - A
 
1. I’m looking to find a time
Another place, some peace of mind
The troubled claims of today
Recede like clouds of yesterday.
 
Where is the goodness within the heart?
Where better angels take their part
Resisting envy, fear, and pride
Who will stand on mercy’s side?
 
​Chorus:  I’m looking for a brighter day
​   “Wishful dreamer” someone will say
​   “Don’t you know that can never, never be.”
​   But turn around you might see…
 
2. I’m looking for the moment when
Man sees his neighbor as his friend
Owing love and nothing more
Building heaven’s treasure store.
 
I’m hoping for the promise of
A new heart born from above
In the image of the One
To any one and all who come.
 
​ <Chorus>
 
3. I’m looking for a better home
A love that seeks not its own
A place of joy meant from the start
Charity in every heart.
 
Can you hear it?  It’s in your ear
Let Wisdom draw you, draw you near
The day is dawning, dawning bright
Will you wake to see its light?
 
​<Chorus>
