Better Than Before

Lyrics:

Verse 1

Bold as the sunrise 

Bright in your eyes 

We’ve seen another way

Come face to face with pain

Verse 2

Like the moonlight 

Transforms a dark night  

Illuminating space 

Where justice should have reigned 

Pre-chorus 

And I know, I know, I know 

That suffering felt far off 

But what about now

What about now 

And I hope, I hope, I hope 

That in the middle of this storm 

Our thoughts could turn out 

To how to act now 

Chorus

And I believe that there can be beauty from the ashes 

And I trust that there can be triumph in a mess 

So fill those cracks with beautiful gold 

Let’s not retreat to the old 

Where our backs were turned before 

Would hearts be opened

To hear the cry 

A world transformed 

Verse 3

I see the breeze turn 

I feel momentum 

Come in on winds of change 

It won’t let us stay the same 

Pre-chorus 

And I know, I know, I know 

That suffering felt far off 

But what about now

What about now 

And I hope, I hope, I hope 

That in the middle of this storm 

Our hearts can learn how 

How to how to act now 

Bridge

Let justice flow 

Like a river through this desert place 

Let fairness rule 

Like an ocean in this wasted space 

Where joy was robbed 

Where darkness stood tall 

Would we restore, rebuild 

To better than before
