Genesis :: :: It's Gonna Get Better (long version)




  Reach out, hands in the air,
  Don't care just what they're saying
  Hold out, just keep on hoping against hope
  That it's gonna get better
  Don't worry, there's no hurry for you, for me,
  Everything's gonna come around
  Shout out, someone will listen to you, to me,
  Someone's gonna see
  
  He calls me over and, calls me brother and I know
  always fighting and moonlighting and, well it never ends
  in the city, if you're all alone
  there's a sister and she's standing next to her man
  in the doorways and in the hallways and
  she don't really care, it's the city and she's all alone
  
  So reach out, hands in the air
  Don't care just what they're saying
  Hold out, just keep on hoping against hope,
  That it's gonna get better
  Don't worry, there's no hurry for you, for me,
  Everything's gonna come around
  Shout out, someone will listen to you, to me,
  Someone's gonna see, yeah
  
  Well everywhere you go you, you live in the shadow of fear
  in the darkness you feel the sharpness of steel
  and it's always there, in the city, and you're all alone
  
  So reach out, hands in the air
  Don't care just what they're saying
  Hold out, just keep on hoping against hope,
  That it's gonna get better
  Don't worry, there's no hurry for you, for me,
  Everything's gonna come around
  Shout out, someone will listen to you, to me
  Someone's gonna see...
  
  If it's gonna get better, it starts with a feeling
  If it's gonna get better, it's gonna take time
  If it's gonna get better, we've gotta start now
  cos I know, everybody can feel it
  and I know, everybody will see it
  cos it shows, and that shows I'm not dreaming
  cos you know, and I know, it's time for change
