[Verse 1]
Children cryin' softly in these full city streets
Someone please admit to them there's not enough to eat
Surely they must know and understand the moral greed
The world must keep on movin' on, despite the ghetto needs
People of the world, united we must stand
Keep the faith among us now, and lend a helpin' hand (Hand)
Spread the word, far and near, to all the distant land (Yeah)
Move to make a better time, and help all those we can

[Chorus]
'Cause things will be better tomorrow
(Lend a helping hand, yeah)
Things will be better tomorrow
(Help the one you can)
Things will be better tomorrow
'Cause they can't be much worse than today

[Verse 2]
Nothing can be done to make a better day
Hoo-hoo, we stop to worry what people think and say-yay
They'll keep them satisfied
And make you live from day to day
Time has come for us to show the proper way

[Chorus]
'Cause things will be better tomorrow
(Help the ones you can)
'Cause things will be better tomorrow
(Make a stand, my brother)
'Cause things will be better tomorrow
'Cause they can't be much worse than today

[Outro]
Things will be better tomorrow
(Can these people stand it?)
Things will be better tomorrow
(I got to lend a helping hand)
Things will be better tomorrow
(Shine it on a different man)
Things will be better tomorrow
(I got to help the ones I can)
Things will be better tomorrow
(Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo)
Things will be better tomorrow
(Come on, woo)
Things will be better tomorrow
(Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah)
Things will be better tomorrow
(Got to, got to, got to, got to)
Things will be better tomorrow
(Listen to me, listen to me)
Things will be better tomorrow
