"A Better Life" lyrics

Let's make it a better life, leave it for the kids
It's a lovely place, welcome home to the human race
We can make it a better life - one we can be proud of
So that at the end of the day, I hope we hear them say
That we left them a better life

And it's a lovely journey but I know somehow
That the world has changed but the soul remains
And with a lot of hard work there's a world to gain, yeah

And life's trip just as sure as you're born
But it's up to you to take it
We're gonna try and make it better

Let's make it a better life, leave it for the kids
It's a lovely place, welcome home to the human race
We're gonna make it a better life, one we can be proud of
So at the end of the day, we can hear them say
That we left them a better life, a better life

They listed to their elders have their say
But when the bickering started, they turned away
Then they watched us argue and they heard us fight
So they tuned it out and danced into the night
They swore they'd never be like us

'Cause what we leave them is tired and worn
And it's up to us to help it
We're gonna try and make it better

We're gonna make it a better life and leave it for the kids
It's a lovely place, a welcome home for the human race
We're gonna make it a better life, one we can be proud of
So at the end of the day, we can laugh and say
That we left them a better life
A better life
A better life
A better life
