Lyrics:
And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And designer love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cause everyone is forgiven now
Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
I need someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive
And the one poor child who saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cause everyone is forgiven now
Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
So take these words
And sing out loud
Cause everyone is forgiven now
Cause tonight's the night the world begins again
Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

im genuinely surprised no one knows the true history behind this song. this was a love letter to orphans around the world since reznick was an orphan himself. this song is way deeper and has a stronger meaning than people give it credit for and this song will never not make me cry with hope.

[@rickeyboyer4515]

Amen! Was just thinking on the same meaning behind this song, myself. Most notably how John, along with his 4 older sisters, were all once orphans themselves, at one earlier point in their lives. Recalled reading his story over a decade ago. Regardless of such circumstances, God bless him for the man he turned out to become; otherwise, the music world, as we know it, today, would be gradually different and without the spiritual / emotional healing that is the Goo Goo Dolls!

I heard this song in 06 when my family finally broke apart. I was in six grade. My mother went into depression and neglected me after my "father" vanished. My other siblings where in High school and had friends to turn to. Young, confused, and alone. I heard this playing on my little radio as I stood in the night in front of school while I was getting ready to walk 10 miles to home. Thinking back now makes me want to cry. But I won't. This song helped me grow.

[@kjcross1087]

Well, your comment made ME cry 😢 I'm glad you have a positive perspective on it now. My family broke apart this past year. I'm the depressed mom in this case. You just reminded me how I need to be stronger for my child (who is thankfully too young to remember this though). So thank you

My son took a liking to John and at one point disappeared in the darkness just after the shoot scaring me to death. He had gone back up the hill to ask John if they were going to do some more filming. He really enjoyed doing this video. We still have the original copy from Revolver Film Company that they gave us to keep. Beautiful song.

I'd be honored if some GooGoo Dolls fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of their first big hit NAME, and also LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the most influential bands of the late '90s & early '00s.

Oftentimes I feel compelled to listen to this song again, but each time I do I cry. Not tears of joy and hope, but tears for the hopelessness I feel for humanity. It just seems most of them are not going to listen, pokefan100. They will not listen to the one poor child who saved this world, nor will they pray for the 10 million more. A few will listen, a few will pray, and a few will be saved, but I cannot help but mourn and cry for the so many who are and will be forever lost. May God bless us all, 'cause we sure do need it. Faith and Trust and Peace, people.

[@jenniferwoods7754]

I just had the chance to see these guys perform live for the first time this week. Incredible talent. But this song literally struck a chord in me when I heard it played from three feet in front of me. It's incredibly soulful.

[@Nothingseen]

This is very much a New Years song, that's the point of "the world begins again," and the "everyone's forgiven now" is about the idea of old grudges being forgotten in the new year. It feels christian, sure, but the concepts of renewal and forgiveness aren't its sole property, and Jesus' birth isn't the time of forgiveness and renewal, that's his resurrection as his sacrifice is completed and transitions the world into a new spiritual phase.

[@lynnmarieanderson1744]

Hi, that’s a great dream!!! This band has so many wonderful songs, and if you’ve ever heard their quite frankly really bad music when they were starting out, it’s very inspirational and amazing how they’ve evolved. I hope your dream comes true, but don’t lose heart if it doesn’t. Consider working as some kind of mentor for some kids in foster care, or being part of an organization like Big Brothers Big Sisters. It isn’t very easy to adopt children, I wish I could but I know I just don’t have the money and job to support kids. You can still make a difference just by being someone who can be a positive influence in a kids life when they feel they have no one. Take care!!!

But man o man this song is so bang on point for Christmas 2020 with everything that is going on in the world, it should be adopted as the song for Christmas 2020 and a light of hope that things can only get better.

Which is why no one should ever give birth again. To bring a child into this hell on Earth, unless ur a freaking Billionaire who can hide and shield his child from this reality, is just abusive to the person being created.

Life was awesome in 2020! I refused to play into the fear and had a great year. My kids went to school (in person) full time, went to work every day, went on several trips (beaches in Florida, skiing in northern Michigan, etc...), made more money then any other year, worked out more and am in better shape. If your year was terrible you only have yourself to blame. If your state is closed, find a better one that is open and stop voting Democrat. It was a shame that our morbidly obese billionaire governor shut down all swimming pools, but fortunately there are lakes to swim in. Shutting down swimming, gyms and sports was easy for him.l, but restaurants was a little harder.

The Christmas album version is stunning. The emotion of the song itself, both this version and the Christmas, is beautiful.

[@melissaupton2097]

Me, too... tears...

For all those going through struggles. Whether it be mentally, physically, emotionally, fincal situations. Any struggle. Remember that better days are ahead just never give up hope.

[@lynnmarieanderson1744]

Thank you.💖

[@jake.debnam24]

It’s funny how a song mainly about Christmas hits so differently during these times, am I right?

[@samneumann6920]

Saw The Goo Goo Dolls in concert back in 2019. This song was a part of their set and as a fan, of course, I knew it. What I didn't know is this song had a deeper meaning to my mom, who was sitting next to me at the time. My parents lost their small business during the recession. My mom told me during the playing of the song that she used to listen to this song during some really hard times in '07-08. Can't really look at the song the same without tearing up.

[@cheile47]

This song reminds me of a friend who died of a sudden heart attack in early Dec of 2020. She loved Christmas and always saw the good in the world and in people. Miss you, Tonya 💔

[@windowsfan95]

I am so sorry for your loss, I hope you are ok.

[@cheile47]

@@windowsfan95 thank you for your kind words. i am okay, it is just a touch sad at Christmas time not seeing her new work (we were in a graphic hobby design forum together). but we in the forum all celebrate for her and remember her, which helps.

[@Dermavent]

I wish everyone was loved tonight And somehow stop this endless fight Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days For someone who is struggling, there is hope, life and Love.

This crescendo and lyrics are probably my favorite part. Always makes me emotional. ❤️❤️

[@user-vv7og1gt7t]

This song still sounds different and it’s almost 2022! We still haven’t found better days! Is this our theme song now? We need to stop and say a prayer 🙏

[@preciousgibson2249]

My dad got hit with stage 3 cancer this year, and my heart has been broken since his diagnosis. All I want is better days for him and I. This song makes me so emotional. In 2018 my grandma and grandpa passed away both in the same year, and I saw the Goo Goo Dolls in October that year. I lost it when I heard this song live. I wanted better days for me and my family. I’m not the type to get emotional, but I cried like a baby in front of strangers that night. ❤

Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting with you here. Thanks for your love and support❤🤟🏻Happy New month to you 🤟🏻🎊

[@Pride317]

Lyrics [Verse 1] And you ask me what I want this year And I try to make this kind and clear Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days Cause I don't need boxes wrapped in strings And designer love and empty things Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days [Chorus] So take these words And sing out loud Cause everyone is forgiven now Cause tonight's the night the world begins again [Verse 2] I need someplace simple where we could live And something only you can give And that's faith and trust and peace while we're alive And the one poor child who saved this world And there's 10 million more who probably could If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them [Chorus] So take these words And sing out loud Cause everyone is forgiven now Cause tonight's the night the world begins again [Bridge] I wish everyone was loved tonight And somehow stop this endless fight Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days [Chorus] So take these words And sing out loud Cause everyone is forgiven now Cause tonight's the night the world begins again [Outro] Cause tonight's the night the world begins again

This band always made such meaningful music. when I am feeling down, this music lifts me up. going through a difficult time. sometimes getting up every day is a struggle for me. I keep hoping I find better days ahead. and I am glad this music is here to comfort me in times of pain and darkness.

It was around 1:07am on Thanxgiving morning, and i got a call from my mom informing me of my lil brothers passing. After a night of little sleep, talking to my close loved ones, embracing the stages of Grief, and getting those annoying "Im so Sorry" text messages, i went out on a drive with my mom and dad to a Thanksgiving dinner. I was drowning myself in music and this song pops up so i played it full blast on my earbuds to ignore the world, remembering my lil brother. I miss you, brudda... I'll see you soon ❤

[@keishonastansbury8293]

Love you homie❤

[@davidgroudas1375]

This song is universal. It has a meaning to john. But it may have a entirely different meaning to someone who maybe battling something in their life and just wishes for better days. I battle a chronic illness. It affects me both physically and mentally. I strive for having better days. This song keeps pushing me for Better Days. Thank you John. Long time fan.

I decided to start watching the series Jericho again after probably 10 years. In one of the opening scenes of the series, this song comes on as Jake the main character returns home for what seems the first time in a long while. I nearly burst into tears on the spot. I haven't heard this song since 2006 and my last deployment to Iraq but this song was one of the things that got me through those turbulent times. It's amazing how simply hearing a song you haven't even thought about for over a decade immediately brings all the memories and feelings of the time it impacted you the most back like it was just yesterday. Although you may never read this. Thank you Goo Goo Dolls I just wanted you to know how much you affected this serviceman back in the day.

I listened to this in high school when it came out. Life is a balance I knew that then and now and grew up knowing that. I am a burn unit nurse. Its awesome to get up and wash and feed yourself and walk. Some never get the full spectrum of that again. We all have better days no matter what obstacles. Be grateful for what is than what isn't. Be better and do better. You can always do both
