Better World
There’s a better world a’coming
I’m not walking there, I’m running
All the pain in this whole world can’t hold it in,
Her beauty’s staggering.
There’s a better world a’coming
The capitalists think we’re done in
But this is the great awakening
We’re going to break through in the end.
There’s a better world a’coming
Where no policemen will be allowed in
Where in millions of communities we will gather around
To sing and dance like children.
We will take back our streets and buildings
The owners will shall dispossess them
And to each an equal share of the riches now
‘cause we have worked enough for them.
My friend, I know you’ve had a hard life
You work like a mule just to get by
This is the end of your tortuous twilight
Cause we are bound to see dawn’s light.
I know so many people who want to live free
Free is the way us the people will be
There’s dew on the grass by the side of the road
Morning is coming now, it’s time to go.
There’s a better world a’coming
The capitalists think we’re done in
But this is the great awakening
We’re going to break through in the end.
