Reach out, hands in the air,

Don't care just what they're saying

Hold out, just keep on hoping against hope

That it's gonna get better

Don't worry, there's no hurry for you, for me,

Everything's gonna come around

Shout out, someone will listen to you, to me,

Someone's gonna see



He calls me over and, calls me brother and I know

always fighting and moonlighting and, well it never ends

in the city, if you're all alone

there's a sister and she's standing next to her man

in the darkness you feel the sharpness of steel

and it's always there, in the city, and you're all alone



So reach out, hands in the air,

Don't care just what they're saying

Hold out, just keep on hoping against hope

That it's gonna get better

Don't worry, there's not hurry for you, for me,

Everything's gonna come around

Shout out, someone will listen to you, to me,

Someone's gonna see...



If it's gonna get better, it starts with a feeling

If it's gonna get better, it's gonna take time

If it's gonna get better, we gotta start now

cos I know, everybody can feel it

and I know, everybody will see it

cos it shows, and that shows I'm not dreaming

cos you know, and I know, it's time for a change
