Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
When you're standin' on the edge
Barely hangin' by a thread
You hear your heart convince your head
That you just can't no more
You just can't no more
When there's nothin' left to give
And you wanna call it quits
No longer strong enough to pick
Yourself up off the floor
Up off the floor
[PreChorus]
Hold on, my friend
'Cause there'll be
[Chorus]
Better days comin', don't give up
The hands that are holdin' tomorrow
Are still holdin' onto us
Better days comin', watch and see
We'll dance through the pain and the sorrow
Knowin' there's gonna be
Better days
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
So don't you get too comfortable
Where you're livin' ain't your home
Soon the promise gonna come
I know it won't be long
It won't be long
Hope is tearin' through the night
Shadows runnin' from the light
Love's awakenin' inside
Just like a brand new song
Like a brand new song
[Chorus]
Better days comin', don't give up
The hands that are holdin' tomorrow
Are still holdin' onto us
Better days comin', watch and see
We'll dance through the pain and the sorrow
Knowin' there's gonna be
Better days
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Better days
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Better days, better days
[Bridge]
If it's not good
Then it's not over yet (Not over)
I promise you this is not the end
(No, it's not, no, it's not the end)
If it's not good
Then it's not over yet (Not over)
I promise you this is not the end
[Chorus]
Better days comin', don't give up (Don't give up)
The hands that are holdin' tomorrow
Are still holdin' onto us
Better days comin', watch and see (We believe, we believe)
We'll dance through the pain and the sorrow
Knowin' there's gonna be
Better days
[Outro]
If it's not good
Then it's not over yet (Not over)
I promise you this is not the end
(There's gonna be better days)
If it's not good
Then it's not over yet (Not over)
I promise you this is not the end
Better days, better days
