It Does Get Better (Radio Edit)

Could you walk through a town

See a boy beaten down against a wall

And think nothing at all

Do you think nothing at all?

For the ones who can't see

Or not hear any sounds 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 you, I swear

That it does get better

From where you are

For those men in their skirts

All the boys loving boys

And the girls loving girls

I tell you it does get better, mm

For the lovers who have smiled

As they walk 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 walk, it's okay

Hold your head high and say

For the ones who can't see from the challenges we're

You're not on your own

Together, we're stronger, 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 the sky up above sees the children you love

And all the families you've grown

Promise me you'll tell them

It gets better from where we are

For all those men in their skirts

All the girls who eat dirt

All the boys loving boys

And the girls loving girls

It gets better from where you are

Now that we've come so far

Always stay who you are

For those men in their skirts

All the boys loving boys

And the girls loving girls

I tell you it does get better

Come so far

Always stay who you are

For those men in their skirts

All the boys loving boys

And the girls loving girls

I tell you it does get better

Come so far

Always stay who you are

And I tell you it gets better

For those men in their skirts

All the boys loving boys

And the girls loving girls

I tell you it does get better
