Better Place
Big City Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got the mind to understand I am not a simple man
And you've got the soul to carry me when I'm dragging my feet
And of course I'm the last to notice now what's right in front of me
You make the world a better place
A better place to be
You make the world a better place
Through it as we're dying
And I get blinded by what's in-between
You know when I'm trying too hard to make sense of all the things I've seen
Cause it's all an illusion,
It causes confusion
I don't know if I could ever explain
You listen to me anyway and it helps to ease the pain
You make the world a better place
A better place to be
You make the world a better place
A better place for me
I'm beginning to see what's right in front of me
This is my life
This is my time
This is my space to breathe
This is reality
You make the world a better place
A better place for
A better place for
You make the world a better place
You make the world a better place
You make the world a better place
You make the world a better place
A better place
