lyrics

better days are coming
is the poor man's hope and prayer
as he faces forces that he can't control
working with his hands
and earning riches for another man
who sits in daddy's office
watching ticker tape unroll

better days are coming
says the mother to her child
as she wonders where their next meal's coming from
daddy went to fight for freedom
his daughter never got to meet him
now every day's a battle
but they just take them as they come

this land was made for you and me
now it seems they want to sell us
all that which makes us free
I may not live to see it
and I hope I really still believe it
better days are coming for you and for me

better days are coming
than this cold and lonely room
says the sick man from the bed he can't afford
no one sends him flowers
he just waits upon the hour
when his ashes gather dust on some shelf
where the poor get stored

this land was made for you and me
but what happens when a working man
can't feed his family?
I may not live to see it
and I hope I really still believe it
better days are coming for you and for me

better days are coming for you and for me
