Could you walk through a town,
see a boy beaten down against a wall
And think nothing at all?
But 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 always be 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 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 all the women and the men who've marched 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 your own
Together we?re strong and 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 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 (It gets better)
Always stay who you are (From where 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!
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!
Now that you?ve come so far
Always stay who you are
From those men in their skirts (And I tell you it gets better!)
All the boys loving boys
And the girls loving girls
I tell you it does get better!
