Lyrics
Yeh! I heard about the trouble last night on the radio
Reference to trouble heard on the radio, setting the stage for the song's theme.
Seeing is believing now tell me do you like what you see
Questioning if the reality matches perception, urging consideration of the visible.
Cause I've been holding on to promises now yeh for too many years
Expressing a prolonged holding on to unfulfilled promises over the years.
It's happening all over the world to people like you and me
Highlighting global issues affecting ordinary people.
Things could be heaven but this feels like hell
Contrast between potential happiness and the current distressing situation.
So hold your head high cause you know I'd die
Encouragement to stay resilient despite challenges, expressing a willingness to sacrifice.
For better days
Expressing a desire for a brighter future, emphasizing the pursuit of "better days."
Read a story in the paper last night people living in fear
Report of a fearful situation reported in the newspaper.
It's easy saying nothing it's easy just to watch things fall
Highlighting the ease of silence and inaction in the face of societal issues.
But I was taught that there's a time in your life
Teaching the importance of taking a stand at a certain point in life.
When you've got to stand proud
Advocating for pride and courage in the face of adversity.
So tell me don't you think that it's time we put an end to it all
Questioning the need to end ongoing issues and challenges.
Things could be heaven but this feels like hell
Reiteration of the contrast between potential happiness and current hardships.
So hold your head high cause you know I'd die
Reaffirmation of encouragement to maintain resilience despite difficulties.
For better days
Reiteration of the desire for a better future.
Things could be heaven but this feels like hell
Reiteration of the contrast between potential happiness and current distress.
So hold your head high cause you know I'd die
Reaffirmation of encouragement to stay resilient for a brighter future.
For better days
Reiteration of the desire for better days.
Everybody dreams like me and you
Recognition that everyone has dreams, emphasizing commonality.
Everybody do what you have to do
Encouragement for everyone to fulfill their responsibilities.
Where you gonna turn when it all goes wrong
Questioning where to seek solace when everything goes wrong.
Living in the same scene way too long
Expressing frustration with enduring the same difficult circumstances for too long.
Everybody hopes that on of theses day
Expressing hope for a positive change in the future.
Everything you want's gonna come your way
Anticipation that everything one desires will eventually come their way.
Everybody knows what they have to do
A reminder that everyone knows what they need to do.
Everybody dreams like me and you
Reiteration of the universality of dreams.
Things could be heaven but this feels like hell
Reiteration of the contrast between potential happiness and current distress.
So hold your head high cause you know I'd die
Reaffirmation of encouragement to maintain resilience despite difficulties.
For better days
Final restatement of the desire for a better future.
