[Verse 1] I wore the rain like a coat On a Monday made of stone Kept my name in my pocket Walked home slow, all alone Mama said, "Hold your head" When the floor gave way [Pre-Chorus] I been bent, but not broken I been low, but not lost Every tear I was choking Turned to strength when it crossed [Chorus] Better days coming Better days coming I can feel them on my skin Better days coming Better days coming Sunrise breaking through again (coming, coming) (through again) [Verse 2] I had dust on my prayer rug And doubt in my throat Had to patch up my heart With a little bit of hope Every scar told a story Every bruise said, "Stay" [Pre-Chorus] I been bent, but not broken I been low, but not lost Every tear I was choking Turned to strength when it crossed [Chorus] Better days coming Better days coming I can feel them on my skin Better days coming Better days coming Sunrise breaking through again (coming, coming) (through again) [Bridge] So if tonight feels heavy Lay it down, lay it down There's a light at the edge of it Turning all around I hear joy in the hallway I hear mercy say my name [Final Chorus] Better days coming Better days coming I can feel them on my skin Better days coming Better days coming Sunrise breaking through again Better days coming Better days coming I’m not folding now for them (coming, coming) (through again)
