Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Watch me now

Uh, uh, Franklin

For everyday

If I could have your attention please

Calling all God's people

Time to come out of the darkness

Life is gonna get better

Watch me now

[Verse 2]

If I could, I, I'd get away

Far from all this trouble I see every day

Nobody wants to show their face

This life is like a, like a masquerade

[Verse 3]

(Jesus) I know You love me

(And I know) I know You care

But while I'm hurtin' I just need to know You're there

(Oh) Watching over me

And I feel you're telling me

(You're telling me to)

[Verse 4]

Count it all joy, always remember

Life will get better, it's gonna get better

No matter the weapon, it will not prosper

Things will get better (It's gonna)

It's gonna get better

[Verse 5]

Ooh, ooh

Persecuted, pushed away

(I didn't think)

I didn't think I'd live to see another day

(Yeah, I cried some tears)

Cried some tears and

I couldn't pray

And when I tried at times I couldn't find the words to say

[Verse 6]

(But check me out, people)

But now I'm stronger because of You (Oh)

Without You, Jesus, I never could've made it through

(I just wanna thank You)

Thank You for watching me (Uh)

Loving me and telling me

(I know all I gotta do is)

[Verse 7]

Count it all joy, always remember (Uh)

Life will get better (It's gonna get)

It's gonna get better (Come on)

No matter the weapon, it will not prosper (Uh)

Things will get better, it's gonna get better

(Come on)

[Verse 8]

Count it all joy, always remember

Life will get better (It's gonna get)

It's gonna get better (Yes, sir)

No matter the weapon, it will not prosper

Things will get better (It's gonna get)

It's gonna get better

[Verse 9]

Now I just wanna encourage everybody right now

With tears tears in your eyes

(Life sometimes may change)

And the pain that you go through

(And nobody wants to feel pain)

But every situation is all to make you strong

(But it came to help you grow)

Don't forget it, remember

(There's one thing you need to know)

That God really truly loves you

(God's in love with you, and he'll never let you go)

He promised you, oh

[Verse 10]

Uh, I can't stop it now (Whoa)

Uh, I said, I can't stop it now (Whoa)

Uh, I said, I can't stop it now (Whoa)

People, you gotta remember, woo

[Verse 11]

Count it all joy, always remember

Life will get better (Life's gonna get better)

It's gonna get better (Oh)

No matter the weapon, it will not prosper (Uh)

Things will get better (Hallelujah)

It's gonna get better (Come on)

[Verse 12]

Count it all joy, always remember (Count it all joy)

Life will get better (It's gonna get)

It's gonna get better (It's gonna get better)

No matter the weapon, it will not prosper (Oh)

Things will get better (It's gonna get)

It's gonna get better

[Verse 13]

So the next time you feel like givin' up, remember

(It's gonna get better)

The next time you feel like walkin' away, remember

(It's gonna get better)

The next time you look at your bank account, remember

(It's gonna get better)

The next time your child's in trouble, remember

(It's gonna get better)

[Verse 14]

You're talkin' about your boss, just remember

(It's gonna get better)

The next time you cry in the midnight hour

(It's gonna get better)

Look at somebody and tell 'em it's gonna

(It's gonna get better)

I feel like Heaven's approached up here
