It Gets Better

(album: Dear Future Me - 2017)

Breaking news
Now there's been a change with the weather
Today's forecast shows
That those thunderstorms are finally moving out
And the rest of the week is going to be beautiful

I know you've been thinking
"Will I have a smile again?"
All you need is to pray Him for a better day
It gets hard to believe but
Don't let your faith slip away
Remember it's always darkest
Just before the Sun comes up

But I know
Sometimes it gets worse
Yeah, and I know
Before it gets better
But you hold on
You can't give up
'Cause it will get better
The times that we fall
Even the pain won't let up
The pain won't let up
You hold on, yeah
'Cause it will get better

You've been doing nothing
Time for the stress to end
Life try to break you
I know you're tired but don't stop fighting
Your life isn't over, today is a brand new day
Just weather the storm
Because eventually every storm runs out of rain

But I know
Sometimes it gets worse
Yeah, and I know
Before it gets better
You survive the past
You hold on
And I tell ya future, I'm on the way
'Cause it will get better
(Wait for it, yeah)
The times that we fall
(We fall down)
The pain won't let up
But things are turning around
You hold on, yeah
'Cause it will get better

Cast your cares no matter what it is
Just fight
You've come too far to die
If you gonna pray about it don't worry about it
'Cause it will get better
Cast your cares no matter what it is
Just fight
You've come too far to die
Your words have the power to create the future
So make this an anthem

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
That it will get better

I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I'm just here to remind you
That it will get better

But I know
Sometimes it gets worse
Yeah, and I know
Before it gets better
You gotta fight through the bad
You hold on
So you can enjoy the better days
'Cause it will get better
The times that you fall
(That you fall down)
The pain won't let up
But you gotta be strong
You hold on, yeah
Even when you don't feel strong
'Cause it will get better
(I've been saying it for your family)

I know, I know, I know, I know
For your children
I know, I know, I know, I know
Your mightiest family
I know, I know, I know, I know
You ain't laughing right now, but know
That it will get better

And I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
And I know
That it will get better
