Better Days
Silver gray hair
- Silver gray hair
- Neatly combed in place
- There were four generations
- Of love on her face
- She was so wise
- No surprise passed her eyes
- She's seen it all
- I was a child oh
- About three or four
- All day I'd ask questions
- At night I'd ask more
- But whenever she never
- Would ever turn me away
- No no oh woah
- I'd say how can I be sure
- What is right or wrong
- And why does
- What I want
- Always take so long
- Please tell me
- Where does God live
- And why won't
- He talk to me
- I'd say Grandma
- What is love
- Will I ever find out
- Why are we so poor
- What is life about
- I wanna know the answers
- Before I fall off to sleep
- Woah ho woah ho
- She saw the smile
- As she tucked me in
- Then she pulled up that
- Old rockin' chair once again
- But tonight she was
- Slightly remarkably
- Different somehow
- Slowly she rocked
- Lookin' half asleep
- Grandma yawned
- As she stretched
- Then she started to speak
- What she told me
- Would mould me and hold me
- Together inside
- Yeah yeah yeah yeah
- She said all the things you ask
- You will know someday
- But you have got to live
- In a patient way
- God put us here by fate
- And by fate that means
- Better days
- She said child we are all
- Moons in the dark of night
- Ain't no mornings gonna come
- Till the time is right
- Can't get no better days lest
- You make it through the night
- You gotta make it
- Through the night
- Yes you do
- You can't get to no
- Better days
- Unless you make it
- Through the night
- Oh ho you will see
- Those better days
- But you gotta be patient
- Be patient oh baby
- Be patient
- Later that year at
- The turn of spring
- Heaven sent angels down
- And gave Grandma her wings
- Now she's flyin'
- And slidin' and glidin'
- In better days
- And although
- I'm all grown up
- I still get confused
- I stumble through the dark
- Getting bumped and bruised
- When night gets in my way
- I could still hear
- My Grandma say
- I can hear her say
- I can hear her sayin'
- You can't get to no
- Better days
- Unless you make it
- Through the night (baby)
- Oh ho you will see
- Those better days
- But you gotta be patient
- Child do you hear me yeah
- Well well well well well
- You can't get to no no
- Better days
- Unless you make it
- You got to make it
- You got to make it
- You got to make it
- Through the night
- Oh Grandma oh Grandma
- Do you see me now lady
- Oh oh oh oh oh Oh
