Better Days
Silver gray hair neatly combed in place
- 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'd 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
- 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 want to know the answers before I fall off to sleep
- She sort of smiled 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 mold me and hold me
- Together inside
- 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 morning gonna come 'til the time is right
- Can't get to 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 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 flying and sliding and gliding
- 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 I I I I I I I I can hear her say
- You can't get to no better days
- Unless you make it through the night baby
- Oh you will see those better days
- But you gotta be patient
- Child do you hear me yeah
- You can't get to 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
- You can't get to no better days
- Unless you make it you got to make it
- You got to make it
