And now it's time
To gather all the things we need to fly
To better days ahead
Just wave goodbye
We've better things to do now, you and I
In better days ahead
Just take my hand
You're one I need to understand
For better days ahead
With you I can stand
As long as you respect me as your man
There's better days ahead
Yes, coming on
Just take my hand
You're the one I need to understand
For better days ahead
With you I can stand
As long as you respect me as your man
There's better days ahead
Yes, coming on
Coming on
Better days ahead
Coming on
For you and me
