Silver gray hair neatly combed in place

There were four generations

Of love on her face she was so wise

No surprise passed her eyes

She's seen it all I was a child, oh

About three or four all day I'd ask questions

At night I'd ask more but whenever, she never

Would ever turn me away no, no oh woah

I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong

And why does what I want always take so long

Please tell me where does god live and why won't

He talk to me and why won't what is love

Will I ever find out what is love what is love

I wanna know the answers before I fall off to sleep oh oh

She saw the smile as she tucked me in

Then she pulled up that

Old rockin' chair once again

But tonight she was slightly, remarkably

Different somehow slowly she rocked

Lookin' half asleep grandma yawned

As she stretched then she started to speak

What she told me would mould

Me and holds me together inside

She said all the things you ask you will know someday

But you have got to live in a patient way

God put us here by fate and by fate that means

Better days she said, child we are all

Moons in the dark of night ain't no mornings gonna come

Till the time is right can't get no better days lest

You make it through the night you gotta make it

Through the night yes you do

You can't get to no better days

Unless you make it through the night baby

Oh ho, you will see those better days

But you gotta be patient be patient, oh baby

Be patient later that year at the turn of spring

Heaven sent angels down and gave grandma her wings

Now, she's flyin' and slidin', and glidin' in better days

And although I'm all grown up

I still get confused I stumble through the dark

Getting bumped and bruised when night gets in my way

I could still hear my grandma say

I can hear her say I can hear her say

You can't get to no better days

Unless you make it through the night baby

Oh ho, you will see those better days

But you gotta be patient child, do you hear me, yeah

Well, well, well, well you can't get to no, no better days

Unless you make it

You got to make it

You got to make it

Through the night

Oh grandma, oh grandma

Do you see me now, lady

Oh oh oh oh oh
