歌词:
Hey friend
When you feel like you’re alone
And the world throws out a lot of hate
It’s not the end
You’re not out there on your own
There’s still so much in life to celebrate
Just look up
Cause those skies are going to clear
There so much more than just the hear and now
Just look up
Cause a better day is here
Tomorrow feel the sunlight shining down
It gets better, better, better
The pain will let up, let up, let up
If you fall just get up, get up, get up
Ohh, cause there’s another way
It gets better, better, better
The world gets lighter, lighter, lighter
So be a fighter, fighter, fighter
Ohh, just live to see that day
Yeah, live to see that day (that day)
Live to see that day
Hey friend
We used to feel like you
No end in sight
Fearing everyday
Just defend the part of you that’s true
Find yourself and you will find the way
Don’t give up (Don’t give up)
Just take another look
And you can shine
It’s time you took the stage
Don’t give up
Cause your life is like a book
All you got to do is turn the page
There are friends yet to meet,
There are songs to be sung
There are beautiful sunsets
And battles are won
There’s love to be found if you just stick around
Don’t give up your life has just begun
It gets better, better, better
The pain will let up, let up, let up
If you fall just get up, get up, get up
Ohh, cause there’s another way
It gets better, better, better
The world gets lighter, lighter, lighter
So be a fighter, fighter, fighter
Ohh, just live to see that day
It gets better, better, better
The pain will let up, let up, let up
If you fall just get up, get up, get up
Ohh, cause there’s another way
It gets better, better, better
The world gets lighter, lighter, lighter
So be a fighter, fighter, fighter
Ohh, just live to see that day
It gets better, better, better
The world gets lighter, lighter, lighter
So be a fighter, fighter, fighter
Ohh, just live to see that day
It gets better, better, better
It gets better, better, better
It gets better, better, better
It gets better, better, better
