Better Days (Live)
[Verse 1: Kirk Franklin]
Let me talk to ya
Some people come out of a storm better
And some people come out of a storm bitter
The difference between the bitter and the better is the compass of your heart
And the direction that you wanna go
So let's go
See, some people wanna stay in the position of a victim
But those of us we know we are victors because we have victories, you see, haha
Becausе when you have victory, you understand that thе pain was part of the plan to make you greater
You understand that the circumstances or the weights that you kept lifting every day
And today is a new day, look at you
You had to cry, but you're smiling now
You had to go through it, but you're better now
Because you are something special
God plans ya
Even in the darkness, you are the light
Where's the light?
[Pre-Chorus: Ant Clemons]
There's a light at the end of the tunnel
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
But if you're feelin' lost in the night
It's okay to cry
Just as long as you hold your head
[Chorus: Ant Clemons, Justine Skye & Lucky Daye]
'Cause we're on our way to better
Better's ahead, better's ahead
It gets worse 'fore it gets better
But better's ahead, better's ahead
Better days are comin' (Better and better and better, ooh-ooh)
Better days are comin' (Ooh-ooh, better days)
Better days, better days (Better and better and better, oh-ooh)
Better days are comin' (Better days, better days)
[Verse 2: Justin Timberlake with Justine Skye & Lucky Daye]
I know you'd been kicked down
Slept on, let down, faith gone
Waited for too long for somethin' to lean on (Lean on)
You feel weak, just be strong (Ooh)
Deep breath, stay calm
If you just press on, press on, press on
[Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake with Lucky Daye, Justine Skye & All]
You're gon' see there's a light at the end of the tunnel (At the end of the tunnel)
Keep your eyes on the road ahead (On the road ahead)
And if you're feelin' lost in the night (Lost in the night)
It's okay to cry (It's okay to cry)
Just as long as you hold your head
[Chorus: Justin Timberlake, Justine Skye & Lucky Daye]
'Cause we're on our way to better (Aah)
Better's ahead, (Better) better's ahead (Aah)
It gets worse 'fore it gets better (Ah-ah-ah)
But better's ahead, better's ahead
Better days are comin' (Better and better and better, ooh-ooh, I know, I know)
Better days are comin' (Ooh-ooh)
(Better days, better days) (Better and better and better, ooh-ooh)
Better days are comin' (Ooh-ooh)
(Better days, better days)
[Verse 3: Ant Clemons with Justine Skye & Lucky Daye]
I know you feel left out and stepped on
Keep goin', keep goin'
Shine bright, don't dim yours for no one
Keep goin' higher, and higher and higher and higher
[Outro: Ant Clemons, Justine Skye, Lucky Daye, Justin Timberlake, Ant Clemons & Justin Timberlake]
(It gets better)
Better days, better days are comin' (Better days)
Better days, better days (On their way) are comin' ('Cause I know)
Better days, better days (Better days) are comin' (Yeah)
Better days, (Oh) better days are comin' (I know)
Better days are comin'
