|
| Reach out, hands in the air,
|
| Don’t care just what they’re saying
|
| Hold out, just keep on hoping against hope
|
| That it’s gonna get better
|
| Don’t worry, there’s no hurry for you, for me,
|
| Everything’s gonna come around
|
| Shout out, someone will listen to you, to me,
|
| Someone’s gonna see
|
| He calls me over and, calls me brother and I know
|
| always fighting and moonlighting and, well it never ends
|
| in the city, if you’re all alone
|
| there’s a sister and she’s standing next to her man
|
| in the doorways and in the hallways and
|
| she don’t really care, it’s the city and she’s all alone
|
| So reach out, hands in the air
|
| Don’t care just what they’re saying
|
| Hold out, just keep on hoping against hope,
|
| That it’s gonna get better
|
| Don’t worry, there’s no hurry for you, for me,
|
| Everything’s gonna come around
|
| Shout out, someone will listen to you, to me,
|
| Someone’s gonna see, yeah
|
| Well everywhere you go you, you live in the shadow of fear
|
| in the darkness you feel the sharpness of steel
|
| and it’s always there, in the city, and you’re all alone
|
| So reach out, hands in the air
|
| Don’t care just what they’re saying
|
| Hold out, just keep on hoping against hope,
|
| That it’s gonna get better
|
| Don’t worry, there’s no hurry for you, for me,
|
| Everything’s gonna come around
|
| Shout out, someone will listen to you, to me
|
| Someone’s gonna see…
|
| If it’s gonna get better, it starts with a feeling
|
| If it’s gonna get better, it’s gonna take time
|
| If it’s gonna get better, we’ve gotta start now
|
| cos I know, everybody can feel it
|
| and I know, everybody will see it
|
| cos it shows, and that shows I’m not dreaming
|
| cos you know, and I know, it’s time for change |
