)
In the flow of life
Keeping an eye on tomorrow
I am happy half the time
I know you're searching for a touch of feeling
But you don't have the time
I know inside there's a better weather
And the world outside really doesn't matter
This love inside is a gentle colour
In the shade of our love
It's a subtle matter

Somebody smile at me like the sun
Somebody that smile at me
What could be better?

If there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
I'll be there on time
I've been let down before
I got up off the floor
It don't change my mind
Cause I know inside there's a better weather
And the world outside really doesn't matter
This love inside is a gentle colour
In the shade of our love
It's a subtle matter

Somebody smile at me like the sun
Somebody smile at me
What could be better?

We found it could be done
What could be better?
There's nothing close
We found it could be done
What could be better?




There's nothing close
Nothing close.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lighthouse Family's song What Could Be Better explore the theme of contentment and finding happiness within oneself. The opening line suggests an acceptance of life's ups and downs and how we should acknowledge the importance of the future whilst still living in the present moment. The singer states that they are happy half the time, which may suggest that they are still searching for something more.


The second stanza introduces the idea that the person the singer is addressing is also searching for emotional connection but is unable to find it due to lack of time or other reasons. However, the singer believes that there is a better weather on the inside, alluding to the idea that happiness comes from within rather than external circumstances. They go on to state that the color of their love is gentle, suggesting that their relationship is calm and peaceful.


In the chorus, the singer expresses a desire for someone to smile at them, like the sun. This can be interpreted as an expression of longing for emotional connection and reciprocity. They then ask the question, "What could be better?" which implies that the answer is nothing; they have found contentment and happiness in this simple act.


In the final stanza, the singer expresses a sense of determination and resilience, stating that they have been let down before, but it doesn't change their mind about the internal state of positivity and contentment they have found. They repeat the idea that there is a better weather on the inside that trumps external circumstances. The closing line, "There's nothing close," suggests that they have found what they were searching for and are now completely satisfied.
