"family tree" lyrics

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Mama, you'll be so proud of me
Look how far we've come
Never once did you not believe
You knew it all along
Daddy, you made a man of me
I am my father's son
The right, the wrongs, the in-betweens
Help me know for sure

Things do get better-er
And they lied, they lied, they lied when they said it don't
Mm-mm, things do get better-er
And they lied, they lied, they lied when they said it won't
God in Heaven knows

Where there's dark, there's light
Where there's wrong, there's right
Ooh, I-I know that things get better
For the lows, there's highs
For the blind, there's sight
Ooh, I-I know that things get better

Brother, brother can you believe
Back when we were young
This was only but a dream?
Now we've just begun, oh
Boy, I wish Baba could see
The person I've become
I'm standing on the family tree
I hope he hears this song

Things do get better-er
And they lied, they lied, they lied when they said it don't
Ah, things do get better
And they lied, they lied, they lied when they said it won't
Now we know for sure

Where there's dark, there's light
Where there's wrong, there's right
Ooh, I-I know that things get better
For the lows, there's highs
For the blind, there's sight
Ooh, I-I know that things get better woah

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I know that it gets better, oh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh, yeah-yeah
Get better
I know it gets better
I know it gets better, better, better
Better, better
Yeah
