Baby, there's a war
right outside our window
Don't you hear the people
fighting for their lives?
Baby, there's a war
right outside our window
But it's gon' be alright
'long as I got you with me
In your arms, I find my shelter
Deep in your love, I will hide
Baby, you and me
stop the world when we're together
You find a way to take my mind
Hoping for better days, better days
Days where things are better
Hoping for better days, better days
Need some better days
Hoping for better days, better days
Days where things are better
Hoping for better days, better days
Need some better days
I can hear the sirens
right outside our window
And I can hear the children
crying while their mothers cry
I'm praying for the people
right outside our window
Hoping they find peace at night
just like you and me
In your arms, I find my shelter
Deep in your love, I will hide
Baby, you and me
stop the world when we're together
You find a way to take my mind
Hoping for better days, better days
Days where things are better
Hoping for better days, better days
Need some better days
Hoping for better days, better days
Days where things are better
Hoping for better days, better days
Need some better days
So how we gonna stop the
violence, stop the hurting?
Stop the hatred, stop the murders
We're all human, that's for certain
Come together, we deserve it
What kind of life will our babies have
if we don't change up and make it last?
It starts right here, starts right now
We'll love and hope for...
Better days, better days
Days where things are better
Hoping for better days, better days
Need some better days
Hoping for better days, better days
Days where things are better
Hoping for better days, better days
Good old better days
Better days, oh, yeah, better
