Lyrics Better Still - Don McLean

Better Still

I've been down
I've been down
Now, I'm up
Up is better

I've been sad
I've been sad
Now, I'm happy
Happy is better

I've been scorned
I've been scorned
Now, I'm loved
Love is better

There are better
There are better
But the best is
Still to come

I've been cruel
I've been cruel
Now, I'm kind
And kind is better

I've been wrong (He's been wrong)
Oh, so wrong (He's been wrong)
But now, I'm right (Now, he's right)
Right is better

I've been trapped
I've been trapped
But now, I'm free
And freedom's better

They're all better
They're all better
But the best is
Still to come

(They're all better
But the best is
Still to come)

I've been scared
Yes, I've been scared
But now, I'm brave
And brave is better

I've been meek
Oh, so meek (I've been meek)
But now, I'm proud
And proud is better

They're all better
They're all better
But the best is
Still to come

Still to come is the true explanation
Still to come is to follow His will
Still to come you have only to ask Him
And the answer will be better still

Better still
Better still
And the answer will be
Better still
Better still (Better still)
Better still (Better still)
And the answer will be
Better still (Better still)
