Gonna Get Better
Gabrielle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We do what we do to try and get us through our darkest days
A time in life that's not so bright
And there will be days when we cry and we don't know why
But you've gotta fight it, those days will pass you by

It's gonna get better, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Everybody knows there's brighter days, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
It's gonna get better, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Live your life and take it day by day

Be positive in mind or you'll fail before you even try
Sometimes it takes a helping hand
To show you that life goes on, there's a brand new dawn
When you're feeling down there's always a reason to hold on
Tell yourself

It's gonna get better, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Everybody knows there's brighter days, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
It's gonna get better, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Live your life and take it day by day

You gotta live your life 'cause life is for the living
And you don't know if you'll get the chance again
You gotta find a way to hold on, maybe faith will help you carry on
Just fight it, take it in your stride, it's gonna be all right

Everybody knows there's brighter days
Live your life and take it day by day
Pick yourself up and start again, oh yeah

And maybe when you find yourself alone
You'll have the time to gather all your thoughts
And when you find you're not so strong
You'll have the strength to carry on

And even when you find yourself in doubt
You'll never lose sight of what your life's about
And when you find you're losing faith
You'll get the strength to help you

Tell yourself it's gonna get better
Just tell yourself that it's gonna get better
Tell yourself it's gonna get better




Just tell yourself that it's gonna get better
It's gonna get better, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

on Tumbling Down

Tumbling Down is more about those countries that are in conflict with,like wars.
Gabrielle is telling us that all of us are the same,regardless of from what country we came from,whatever our racial origins were,whatever language we speak.
She was asking,the world leaders who were the masterminds of the chaos between nations,when to stop.Will they stop when it is already too late?When thousands of humanities were already lost by these senseless killings?When no one is left?
She begs to stop these wars between countries before it was too late to perceive.
She was asking if everyone have died,will they have felt that they eon the battle?
In conclusion,this song is all about the wars going on around 5he globe,like now in Israel and Palestine,etc.
Discovered this song last Oct.7,2023 ,when Hama's attacked Israel.
But,I'm Pro Palestine because Israel is taking revenge,Israel is unbecoming now as a country.With thousands of innocent Palestinian died with their bΓ³mbings,esp.children and women,I am not going to buy their alibis and being biased.
