It's gonna get better
I hope this letter
Is a hope for you, yeah
It don't, it don't, it don't, it don't matter where you come from
Cause we all, we all, we all will find the same pain
So what I say to you
Is don't fight this war no more
Just let the Healer, let the Healer be your healing

It's better for you to lift your head
Than to take the worry away to bed
chorus: So rest assured and dream away
For tomorrow when you wake
What you had asked for
Is what you'll get get get today
So dream away
Oh it don't, it don't, it don't, it don't matter who did this to you
Cause he will, he will, he will be dealt with too
So all you got to do is
Put your weapon down (put down your weapon)
And let the wreckin' ball do His wreckin'
It's better for you to lift your head
Than to take the worry away to bed
