i was living in the darkness
i couldn't see the truth in front of me
i was lost and i was broken

happiness seemed so out of reach
felt like the walls were closing in on me
all i wanted was to break free


then I remembered what my father said
we're all in this together

just take a look around, child
everything is getting better


remember when we ruled the world
i was the king and you were my queen
when i think about those days

the words we say aren't the ones we mean

mistakes are just a chance to learn

now we know that every heartbreak hurts
and when i look into your eyes
real love is always more than words


then I remembered what my mother said
we're all in this together

just take a look around, child
everything is getting better


change your ways
change your days
live your life

a better way
better days
on their way

say the things you need to say

live strong for the ones you love

show'em all what you're made of

take a look around

we're all in this together
everything is getting better
