Could you walk through a town, see a boy beaten down against the wall And think nothing at all? Do you think nothing at all?
For the ones who can’t see Or not hear any sound in this life Try to feel what that’s like 'cause no one gets to decide!
When days don’t seem right just shine 'cause this life is yours and mine On a day like today when you’re walking away Hold your head up so high 'cause I tell you from here
That you’ve come so far, And allways been who you are. When your head hits the floor, And you’re bleeding some more Let me tell, I swear, That it does get better from where you are.
From all those men in their skirts All the boys loving boys, And the girls loving girls, I tell you it does get better! Hmmmm
For the lovers who have smiled as they walked down the aisle in this life, Saying beautiful words, They were finally heard. And now the women and the men Who've march time and again for this fight, They were finally right.
Now we’re all breathing life.
And now that we’ve come so far, And always stay who you are. When we're walking so gay, Hold your head high and say, For the ones you can’t see From the challenges feared.
You’re not on your own. Together we’re stronger, never get thrown. When you’re feeling so small, Get your back off that wall. Will you open your eyes, 'cause I tell you, it does get better, from where you are!
And if that sky up above sees the children you’ve loved And all the families you’ve grown, from first being told no, It gets better from where we are.
For all those men in their skirts, All the girls who eat dirt, All the boys loving boys, And the girls loving girls!
Now that you’ve come so far Always stay who you are. From those men in their skirts All the boys loving boys And the girls loving girls I tell you it does get better! (x2)
And I tell you it gets better! I tell you, it does get better!
