[Bridge]
So how we gonna stop the violence, stop the hurting?
Stop the hatred, stop the murders
We're all human, that's for certain
Come together, we deserve it
What kind of life will our babies have if we don't change up and make it last?
It starts right here, starts right now
We'll love and hope for...

[Chorus 2]

Hoping for better days, better days
Dm
Days where things are better

Hoping for better days, better days
Dm
Need some better days
Bb          Am           C
Hoping for better days, better days
Dm
Days where things are better
Bb          Am           C
Hoping for better days, better days
Dm
Good ol' better days
