"A Child Is Coming" lyrics

Last electric Sunday mornin' waitin' in the park for the dawn
Listenin' to all the animals in the Park and in the city beyond
Flashin' with my lady. sky goin' black to blue
She said I got a surprise for you

A child is coming
A child is coming
A child is coming to you

What are we gonna do when Uncle Samuel comes around
Askin' for the young one's name
And lookin' for the print of his hand for the files in their numbers game
I don't want his chances for freedom to ever be that slim
Let's not tell 'em about him -

A child is coming
A child is coming
A child is coming to you, it's comin'

[Paul, David, Grace:]

[Paul:] It's gettin' better
[David:] To be born
[Paul:] It's gettin' better
[David:] Feels like a morning
[Paul:] It's gettin' better
[David:] It's growing
[Paul:] Brighter
[David:] Shining
[Paul:] It's gettin' better
[David:] Changing
[Paul:] It's gettin' better
[David:] Gathering
[Paul:] It's gettin' brighter
[David:] It's spreading
[Paul:] Together
[David:] With each other
[Paul:] It's gettin' finer
[David:] To tell the truth
[Paul:] It's gettin' finer
[David:] To be alive
[Paul:] It's gettin' better
[David:] To be born
[Paul:] It's gettin' better
[David:] To create
[Paul:] It's gettin' better
[David:] To learn
[Paul:] It's gettin' brighter
[David:] To grow
[Paul:] In the dawn
[David:] To change
[Paul:] It's gettin' finer
[David:] To live in harmony
[Paul:] It's gettin' better
[David:] We can be together
[Paul:] Together
[David:] We can work it out
[Paul:] And all of us together
[David:] Build
[Paul:] Gettin' better
[David:] Building
[Paul:] Gettin' finer

[David:] Shining
[Paul:] Gettin' better
[David:] Learnin'
[Paul:] In the dawn
[David:] Burnin' brighter

[Paul:] Tomorrow
[David:] To grow
[Paul:] Tomorrow
[David:] To help another
[Paul:] Tomorrow
[Paul:] It's gettin' better
[David:] Da, da, da, da, da

[Grace:]
I wanna see his head rising
I wanna see his head rise to mine
