Better days are comin' (yeah), if no one told you
I hate to hear you cryin', over the phone, dear
For seven years runnin', you've been a soldier
But better days are comin'
Better days are comin' for you (better days, mm)
So when the night feels like forever (mm)
I'll remember what you said to me (woo)
I know you've been hurtin'
Waitin' on a train that just won't come
The rain, it ain't permanent
And soon we'll be dancin' in the sun
We'll be dancin' in the sun (yeah)
And we'll sing your song together (hey-hey, hey-hey)
And we'll sing your song together (hey-hey, hey-hey)
Uh, better days are here and I keep tellin' myself (okay)
Things I'm facing now, nobody can help
It's a crazy past, but I grew right through it
Like roses in the concrete, so beautiful (ooh-ooh, ooh)
Counted out, faced with doubt, but my head never bowed
I never surrender, I remain contender (ooh-ooh, ooh)
When the chances were slimmer and branches were thinner
I step out on faith, show myself I'm a winner (ah-hah, yeah)
When my corner is empty, so-call friends resent me (yeah, a-ha)
I slide in the ring with a champion swing (woo)
Right hooks write the pages of the greatest victories (boom)
Look what they did to me, they created a monster (oh, ah)
Who'll never be defeated, who'll never be conquered
So I gotta thank my haters, you the greatest of sponsors (hey, thanks)
Long as I'm alive know my days gettin' better
We'll rise together, we'll shine forever (mm), yeah
So when the night feels like forever (mm)
I'll remember what you said to me (c'mon)
I know you've been hurtin' (is our time ever soothin'?)
Waitin' on a train that just won't come (I know you waitin')
The rain, it ain't permanent (is our time ever soothin'?)
(It ain't forever baby, ha ha)
And soon we'll be dancin' in the sun (yeah)
We'll be dancin' in the sun (in the sun, woo)
And we'll sing your song together (hey-hey, hey-hey) (you and me)
And we'll sing your song together (hey-hey, hey-hey) (ha)
And we'll sing your song together (hey-hey, hey-hey) (yeah)
And we'll sing your song together (hey-hey, hey-hey) (better days)
Your story's gonna change, just wait for better days (I know you waitin')
You've seen too much of pain, now you don't even know (ha ha)
That your story's gonna change, just wait for better days (better days)
I promise you, I won't let go
I know you've been hurtin'
Waitin' on a train that just won't come (tired of waitin')
The rain, it ain't permanent (is our time ever soothin'?)
And soon we'll be dancin' in the sun (it ain't forever, baby)
We'll be dancin' in the sun (we'll be dancin')
And we'll sing your song together (hey-hey, hey-hey) (woo, hey)
And we'll sing your song together (hey-hey, hey-hey) (look at us, ha)
And we'll sing your song together (hey-hey, hey-hey)
(Yeah, we'll sing your song) ha
And we'll sing your song together (hey-hey, hey-hey)
(Yeah, we'll sing your song)
Better days on the way, yeah
