The Hollies - A Better Place Lyrics

The Hollies Lyrics

"A Better Place"

My daddy was a wandering man
And my ma was good and true
I've tried to live like my pa
But ma I'm more like you

I wanna teach people to love
I wanna teach children to sing
I wanna make this world a better place
For everyone to live in

My daddy thought that drinking wine
Was something every man should do
He wanted me to drink and fight
But ma I turned up more like you

I wanna teach people to love
I wanna teach children to sing
I wanna make this world a better place
For everyone to live in

Oh mama
I wanna be like you
Oh mama
You gotta help me to

We gotta teach people to love
We gotta teach children to sing
We gotta make this world a better place
For everyone to live in
