Lyrics:
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
But if you’re feeling lost in the night, it’s okay to cry
Just as long as you hold your head
Cause we’re on our way to better
Betters ahead
It gets worse before it gets better
But betters ahead
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
I know you been kicked down
Slept on
Let down
Faith gone
Waited for too long
For something
To lean on
Feel weak
Just be strong
Deep breath
Stay calm
And if you just press on
Press on
You gone see you’re the light at
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
But if you’re feeling lost in the night, it’s okay to cry
Just as long as you hold your head
Cause we’re on our way to better
Betters ahead
It gets worst before it gets better
But betters ahead
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
I know you’ve felt left out and stepped on
Keep going keep going
Shine bright don’t dim your light for no one
Keep going higher and higher and higher and higher
It gets better
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
But if you’re feeling lost in the night, it’s okay to cry
Just as long as you hold your head
Cause we’re on our way to better
Betters ahead
It gets worst before it gets better
But betters ahead
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
Better days are coming
Better days are coming

Please put this version out as a single. The choir! The band! The lack of auto tune! Best one so far. It’s an amazing song!

I needed to hear this song. I am a one year stage 2 Breast Cancer survivor. I am still having side affects from my chemo and radiation treatments. I will be on a chemo pill for another 4 years. It has taken a toll on my body. This is my favorite song now. You two did a fantastic job singing this song.

I am in #Memphis #Germantown. No doubt this performance was the BEST/Showstopper. If you're in #Memphis, this song really, REALLY resignates in ways words can't describe. Justin holding true to his roots.. 🎤🎼 Things will get better... Better days are coming.........

It was such a priveledge for my daughter along with other Stax Music Academy kids to do background for this video. Adding the choir took the song to the next level--they all sound soo good! Memphis is sooo proud of this video and song--totally Grammy material! @Ant and @Justin you have to come back and visit and perform live in the city once things get back to normal. My daughter can be seen at marker 4:10 and we just went bonkers when we saw her face on the screen. Such an incredible opportunity for the kids in Memphis! #betterdaysarecoming #choose901 #memphis #memphisfamily #stax #staxmusicacademy #grammysong
