Lyrics

Better World
By David Stumph

Verse 1:
Woke up to a beautiful day
Living in the USA
The sun is shining on my face
And there’s hope among the human race
But everywhere you look
There’s an asterisk in the book
And they want to leave us in disgrace

Verse 2:
But what troubles me today
Is what standing in the way
We’ve got division and we’ve got hate
That just won’t seem to go away
It’s time we settle done
And take a look around
And try to find a better way

Chorus:
If there’s going to be a change
It won’t come from the top
It’s gonna have to come from you and me
You know we’re better than that
And with a tip of the hat
We’re standing for humanity

Verse 3:
Charlottesville is in every town
And Sandy Hook is still unbound
And leadership just can’t be found
They only want to drag us down
All they can see
I what matters to thee
And the rest of us just aren’t around

Chorus:
If there’s going to be a change
It won’t come from the top
It’s gonna have to come from you and me
You know we’re better than that
And with a tip of the hat
We’re standing for humanity

Verse 4:
And It makes me sad to see
What’s becoming of our Mother Earth
As we strip away her dignity
And line our pockets with all she’s worth
The future will hold
Pockets lined with gold
And living with hypocrisy.

Chorus:
If there’s going to be a change
It won’t come from the top
It’s got to come from you and me
You know we’re better than that
And with a tip of the hat
We’re standing firm for humanity

Verse 5:
But what troubles me today
Lining in the U.S.A.
We’ve got division and we’ve got hate
That just won’t seem to go away
It’s time we settle done
And take a look around
And try to find a better way

It’s time we settle done
And take a look around
And try to find a better way
