Brother, lay your head down
Sister, don't you know?
Ain't no rest in worry
Troubles come, troubles go
I have seen the sparrow
I have watched it fly
Though she does not worry
Tell me why should I?
So hold on love
Things are gonna get better
Things are gonna get better
I know it's hard
Hold on love
Things are gonna get better
Things are gonna get better
I know they are
Du-du-du...
I have seen the lily dancing with the wind
Open to the sunshine
Open to the rain
Dressed in all her beauty
Giving what she needs
If I listen closely
I can hear her sing to me
So hold on love
Things are gonna get better
Things are gonna get better
I know it's hard
Hold on love
Things are gonna get better
Things are gonna get better
I know they are
Hold on love
Things are gonna get better
Things are gonna get better
I know it's hard
Hold on love
Things are gonna get better
Things are gonna get better
I know they are
Du-du-du...
