Better

(album: Transparent - 2014)

I used to be
So broken, lost, empty
A heart with no beat
A singer with no song to sing

So I know the feeling
The silence is deafening
But in your pain lies a blessing
A sweeter song of victory

So keep walking n' walking n' walking
Though it seems so far
No matter who you are
See, there's one thing that I know

Life: it can leave
You so bitter bitter, bitter, bitter
But you must believe
That it gets better, better, better, better

It's alright
Dry your eyes
Send a prayer to the sky
I know it's hard to fight

But you must believe
That it gets better

Listen to me
I know you're scared
Your heart's bleeding
But what are you gonna do now?
I think it's time you break free!

And keep walking n' walking n' walking
Though it seems so far
No, it doesn't really matter who you are
See, there's one thing that I know

Life: it can leave
You so bitter bitter, bitter, bitter
But you must believe
That it gets better, better, better, better

It's alright
Dry your eyes
Send a prayer to the sky
I know it's hard to fight

But you must believe
That it gets better, better

Almost out of here
See, I was almost done
I wanted to die
From how I was doing wrong

I cried out every night
Looking for a helping hand
That's when it happened
Jesus took me in

He held me close
Gave me love
Refilled my heart
Helped me grow

Better because His love: it made me whole
He's available anytime
Try Him out
He'll change your life
See 'cause I know

Life: it can leave
You so bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter
But you must believe
That it gets better, better, better, better

Life: it can leave
You so bitter bitter, bitter, bitter
But you must believe
That it gets better, better

It gets better, better
So much better
It gets better, better
If you only believe
So much better
