When I was young
My momma said
Hold on to hope
Cos there's better days ahead
Sure as the sun
Some rain's gonna come
But my momma said
There's better days ahead
Sing it with grace
Better days ahead (better days ahead)
Keep a smile on your face
Better days ahead (better days ahead)
Take someone's hand
Better days ahead (better days ahead)
Every woman, every man
Better days ahead
I've come to believe
We can all find a light
Just look past the clouds
And come in from the night
It's not hard to see
Just keep a little faith in you and me
My momma said
Better days ahead
Sing it with grace
Better days ahead (better days ahead)
Keep a smile on your face
Better days ahead (better days ahead)
Take someone's hand
Better days ahead (better days ahead)
Every woman, every man
Better days ahead
When you're feeling down
You know you're not the only one
Take a little time
Cos a change is gonna come
'Cause I'm here to love you
I'm here to lift you
I'm here to give you
Love
