Better Days |
| Silver grey hair |
| Neatly combed in place |
| There were four generations |
| Of love on her face |
| She was so wise |
| No surprise passed her eyes |
| She’s seen it all |
| I was a child, oh About three or four |
| All day I’d ask questions |
| At night I’d ask more |
| But whenever, she never |
| Would ever turn me away |
| No, no oh woah |
| I’d say how can I be sure |
| What is right or wrong |
| And why does |
| What I want |
| Always take so long |
| Please tell me Where does God live |
| And why won’t |
| He talk to me |
| I’d say Grandma |
| What is love |
| Will I ever find out |
| Why are we so poor |
| What is life about |
| I wanna know the answers |
| Before I fall off to sleep |
| Woah ho woah ho She saw the smile |
| As she tucked me in Then she pulled up that |
| Old rockin' chair once again |
| But tonight she was |
| Slightly, remarkably |
| Different somehow |
| Slowly she rocked |
| Lookin' half asleep |
| Grandma yawned |
| As she stretched |
| Then she started to speak |
| What she told me Would mould me and hold me Together inside |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
| She said all the things you ask |
| You will know someday |
| But you have got to live |
| In a patient way |
| God put us here by fate |
| And by fate that means |
| Better days |
| She said, child we are all |
| Moons in the dark of night |
| Ain’t no mornings gonna come |
| Till the time is right |
| Can’t get no better days lest |
| You make it through the night |
| You gotta make it Through the night |
| Yes you do You can’t get to no Better days |
| Unless you make it Through the night (baby) |
| Oh ho, you will see |
| Those better days |
| But you gotta be patient |
| Be patient, oh baby |
| Be patient |
| Later that year at The turn of spring |
| Heaven sent angels down |
| And gave Grandma her wings |
| Now, she’s flyin' |
| And slidin', and glidin' |
| In better days |
| And although |
| I’m all grown up I still get confused |
| I stumble through the dark |
| Getting bumped and bruised |
| When night gets in my way |
| I could still hear |
| My Grandma say |
| I can hear her say |
| I can hear her sayin' |
| You can’t get to no Better days |
| Unless you make it Through the night (baby) |
| Oh ho, you will see |
| Those better days |
| But you gotta be patient |
| Child, do you hear me, yeah |
| Well, well, well, well |
| You can’t get to no, no Better days |
| Unless you make it You got to make it You got to make it Through the night |
| Oh Grandma, oh Grandma |
| Do you see me now, lady |
| Oh oh oh oh oh |
