Better Than I Found It

I don't wanna hear about another, riot

Someone dying

At the wrong end of a gun


One more bullet might break my, heart

Oh it sure is dark

Can we let in a little sun


I just wanna be a light, be a light, be a light

I just wanna be a light, every day and every night

And leave a better than I found it

A better than I found it

Leave a better than I found it, world!


Another outline on another, sidewalk

It's not just hopscotch

Even rain can't wash that paint away


God won't let you give up on, us

Oh what have we done

Look at all the chaos we create


I just wanna be a light, be a light, be a light

I just wanna be a light, every day and every night

And leave a better than I found it

A better than I found it

Leave a better than I found it, world!


Rapid fire love

Rapid fire love

That's my ammunition and I'm loading up

Rapid fire love

Rapid fire love

That's my ammunition

I wanna leave it

Just a little better, just a little better

Just a little better, just a little better

Just a little better, just a little better


Better than I found it

Better than I found it

Better than I found it world

I wanna leave

Oh, better

Oh, better

We gotta leave


I believe we can see

We can leave it better that we found it


Better than I found it

Leave a better, world!
