Something Better (Acoustic)

The world has so much beauty
So much is worth pursuing
So much I haven't truly
Discovered yet but, ooh we
Believe me, I'mma do it
No we gonna do it, excuse me
So much to be done
Still so much that needs undoing
But baby that's the journey
Sweetheart don't get discouraged
You the one that told me
That we have a higher purpose
Inside I feel it churning
Bubbling below the surface
I feel that undercurrent
That pulses toward the merges
The world just keeps on turning
Lately I've seen a resurgence
Of compassion, love, and mercy
People at each other's service
Sweetheart don't get discouraged
You the one that told me
That we have a higher purpose
Higher purpose, higher purpose

I believe in the understanding that there must be something better
When you get down, put head down and pull yourself together
Not looking at anybody else's hand for a handout
Going to get myself in line, I put my head down

I believe in the understanding that there must be something better
When you get down, put head down and pull yourself together
Not looking at anybody else's hand for a handout
Going to get myself in line, I put my head down, I put my head down

Don't ever be a victim
Don't let yourself drift in
The river of pessimism
To the sea of cynicism
The world has much more in it
Baby you are much more gifted
Use what you've been given
To do what you intended
That voice that you hear whispering
That voice is intuition
That voice will never diss you
So when it speaks then listen
Somewhere along the mission
We got put into divisions
Focus on what’s different
And not our common interests
I hear religious figures
They say they on a mission
They say god loves all children
But then they switch positions
They say he has a preference
For only those who share their vision
That don't sound consistent
Sounds like they got it twisted
Sometimes I even wonder
If they read what is written
My brother needs assistance
My brother has a friendship
Don't care about his preference
Complexion or religion
God is god, love is love
I don't see it any different

I believe in the understanding that there must be something better
When you get down, put head down and pull yourself together
Not looking at anybody else's hand for a handout
Going to get myself in line, I put my head down

I believe in the understanding that there must be something better
When you get down, put head down and pull yourself together
Not looking at anybody else's hand for a handout
Going to get myself in line, I put my head down

I put my head down
I put my head down
Head down
