Better Way
Andru Donalds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday I heard in the air
People suffer everywhere
But the world don't give a damn
If money is true power
We should share it with our brothers
Lend a helping hand

(Chorus)
What would it take for our people to see
That we must come together for humanity
Stop this madness, violence and hate
Free ourselves before it gets too late
Need to fight a power
And fight the hatred in each other
There's got to be a better way
A vision for our future
Need to fight a power
And fight the hatred in each other
There's got to be a better way
A vision for our future

We need power for unity
So that we could all see
A vision for our future
Just a little more fire
To get what we need to bring
The people together

(Chorus)

(Jamaican rap)

Stop the madness, violence and hate
Free ourselves before it gets too late
Need to fight a power
And fight the hatred in each other
There's got to be a better way
I vision for our future
Need to fight a power
And fight the hatred in each other
There's got to be a better way
A vision for our future
Need to fight a power
And fight the hatred in each other
There's got to be a better way
There's got to be a better way (repeat)
Need to fight a power
And fight the hatred in each other
There's got to be a better way
There's got to be a better way




There's got to be a better way
A vision for our future
