It breaks my heart, every day to know so many, stray
From their heart, and their home, and feel, oh so alone
They don't know where to go, darkness is all they know
And their world comes, crumbling down

And when they ask where you've gone
I'll say a better place, you're in a better place tonight
And when they ask where you've gone
I'll say a better place, you're in a better place tonight

You know, you've been told
You've gotta find something to hold, on, to
It gets better in time, please just, keep that in mind
Don't break, more inside

And when they ask where you've gone
I'll say a better place, you're in a better place tonight
And when they ask where you've gone
I'll say a better place, you're in a better place tonight

It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, it gets better
It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, it gets better
It gets better, it gets better, it gets better, it gets better
You kids, wandering around, with no love, holding you down
It gets better, it gets better

And when they ask where you've gone
I'll say a better place, you're in a better place tonight
And when they ask where you've gone
I'll say a better place, you're in a better place tonight

You're in a better place tonight
