We Can Be Better
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
These are the days.
These are the moments.
The truth that we live with, all of our lives.
Right here right now.
No dress rehearsals.
No second chances.
So what we goin' do about it.
Oh, cant--keep--on closing my eyes.
Cant, keep believing the lies.
I--know--deep--down--in-side.
We really need to make a change.
Cause,
I wanna wake up knowing i've done all that i can.
I wanna wake up feeling like i gave it a chance.
Take a look in the mirror, and not be ashamed.
So im taking a stand today.
Cause i can be better.
You can be better.
We can be better.
Yes, i know i can.
I can be better.
You can be better.
I wanna hear everybody say, we can be better.
Put out a hand.
Lend out a shoulder.
Leave on a light to, shine through the night.
Say you'll be there.
Say its not over.
Promise to never, turn around and give up the fight.
Cant--keep--on--closing my eyes.
Cant keep, believing the lies.
I--know--deep down inside.
We really need to find a way.
Cause,
I wanna wake up knowing i've done all that i can.
I wanna wake up feeling like i gave it a chance.
Take a look in the mirror, and not be ashamed. (noo.)
Oh, so im taking a stand today.
Yes i am.
Cause i can be better. (oh.)
You can be better.
We can be better.
Baby i know i can.
I can be better.
You can be better.
I wanna hear everybody say (ayy), we can be better.
( i can, you can, we can do better.
I can, you can, we can do better.
I can, you can, we can do better. )
Better.
( i wanna wake up ~ )i wanna wake up knowing i've done all that i can. (all that i can)
I wanna wake up feelin' like i gave it a chance. (i gave it a chance)
Take a look in the mirror and not be ashamed. (oh, noo)
So im taking a stand today. (im taking a stand today)
Cause i can be better.
You can be better. (you can, you can)
We can be better. (we can)
I know i can.
I can be better.
You can be better.
I wanna hear everybody say--
Everybody say it with me.
We can be better.
