[Verse 1] The rent hit hard this week And the fridge kept talking back But I fixed my hair in the mirror And I put some rhythm on that crack My mama said, "Baby, hold on" When the sky gets heavy and gray I brought that smile to the table Even if I had to fake it today [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I can feel it in my bones Something turning soft to gold I been too long in the rain Now I’m ready, now I’m ready [Chorus] Better days, better days (coming our way) Better days, better days (take us away) We’ve cried enough We’ve paid the cost Better days, better days They’re coming, y'all [Verse 2] I seen my friends on the corner Laughing with chipped-up cups Same old block, same old struggle But we still showed up We danced right through the pressure We sang with a broken crown If joy is a kind of rescue Then tonight, we’re getting found [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause I can feel it in my bones Something turning soft to gold I been too long in the rain Now I’m ready, now I’m ready [Chorus] Better days, better days (coming our way) Better days, better days (take us away) We’ve cried enough We’ve paid the cost Better days, better days They’re coming, y'all [Bridge] I see sunrise in your eyes I see mercy on the way If the night keeps holding on We’ll hold harder till it breaks Come on, lift your hands now Come on, sing it like you know Every tear plant got a season And my garden’s bound to grow [Final Chorus] Better days, better days (coming our way) Better days, better days (take us away) We’ve cried enough We’ve paid the cost Better days, better days They’re coming, y'all Better days, better days (hear us now) Better days, better days (coming down) We’ve cried enough We’ve paid the cost Better days, better days They’re coming, y'all
