[Verse 1] I woke up late with the same old ache But the bread was warm on the plate Mama said, "Girl, just wait" The morning knows my name The porch birds sang through the screen I saw gold in the cracks between What has been and what will be And I leaned into the steam [Pre-Chorus] Hold on, hold on The rain won't stay long Hold on, hold on I can feel it turning on [Chorus] Better days are coming (Coming, coming) Better days are coming (Soon, soon) Keep my heart from running Better days are coming And they’re coming for me and you [Verse 2] The bus rolled by with a shiver of light Kids in church clothes, laughing bright Even my tired old hands felt right When I opened up the door There’s a bluebird on the fence again Like it never learned to be afraid And I swear when I heard it sing My whole chest said more [Pre-Chorus] Hold on, hold on The sky is turning gold Hold on, hold on We’ve got a little road to go [Chorus] Better days are coming (Coming, coming) Better days are coming (Soon, soon) Keep my heart from running Better days are coming And they’re coming for me and you [Bridge] If the night gets long, I’ll sing anyway If the weight comes back, I’ll let it shake Every little tear got a place to stay Till the sun comes out and calls my name Oh, it calls my name (Calls my name) [Final Chorus] Better days are coming (Coming, coming) Better days are coming (Soon, soon) Keep my heart from running Better days are coming And they’re coming for me and you Better days are coming (Coming, coming) Better days are coming (Soon, soon) I can feel it humming Better days are coming And they’re coming for me and you
