Verso 1

Momma you’ll be so proud of me
Look how far we’ve come
Never once did you not believe
You knew it all along
Daddy you made a man of me
I am my father’s son
The right the wrongs the in between’s
Help me know for sure

Pre Coro

Things do get better
And they lied they lied they lied
When they said it don’t
Things do get better
And they lied they lied they lied
When they said it won’t
God in Heaven knows

Coro

Where there’s dark there’s light
Where there's wrong there’s right
Ooh I know that things get better
For the lows there’s highs
For the blind there’s sight
Ooh I know that things get better

Verso 2

Brother brother can you believe
Back when we were young
This was only but a dream
Now we’ve just begun
Boy I wish Papa could see
The person I’ve become
I’m standing on the family tree
I hope he hears this song

Pre Coro

Things do get better
And they lied they lied they lied
When they said it don’t
Things do get better
And they lied they lied they lied
When they said it won’t
Now we know for sure

Coro

Where there’s dark there’s light
Where there's wrong there’s right
Ooh I know that things get better
For the lows there’s highs
For the blind there’s sight
Ooh I know that things get better
