Embracing Life's Journey: Finding Hope in 'Better Days' by Hollie Hammel
Lyrics
I don't have to be richer and famous
I am content without wealth and fame.
I don't have to be covered in gold
Material possessions like gold don't define my worth.
I don't have to be
Emphasizing the lack of necessity for certain expectations.
I don't have to be
Reiteration of not needing specific societal standards.
I know I'm not everyone's favorite
Acknowledging that not everyone may like or favor me.
I don't have to be homecoming queen
No need to be the popular choice or achieve recognition.
I don't have to be
Reemphasizing the freedom from societal expectations.
I don't have to be
Reiteration of not conforming to societal norms.
Maybe I've been a little distracted
Admitting to being somewhat distracted recently.
Got a lot of things fresh in my mind
Having various thoughts and concerns on the mind.
But I wanna be
Expressing a desire to be something more.
I just wanna be
Reiterating the wish to become a better person.
Doing all the things that I said I'd
Commitment to fulfilling previously stated goals.
Do better in this coming year
Striving for improvement in the upcoming year.
Cause I wanna be
Expressing a strong desire to be better.
I just wanna be
Reiterating the wish to become a better person.
Better today
Aspiring to be better in the present.
Trying hard not to feel so ashamed
Attempting to avoid feelings of shame.
Just wanna feel like I'll be okay
Simply wanting to feel okay and secure.
Cause it comes in waves
Referring to life's challenges that come and go.
Everything has to slow down, just wait
Expecting things to slow down and waiting for improvement.
I know I'm gonna see better, better days
Anticipating and believing in a better future.
I know we don't have very much money
Acknowledging a lack of financial abundance.
Sometimes we're just trying to survive
Surviving despite financial constraints.
We don't have to be
Emphasizing that one doesn't need to surpass others.
We don't have to be
Reiterating the lack of necessity to outperform others.
Doing better than anyone else or
Rejecting the need to pretend to have everything figured out.
Pretending we've figured it out
Choosing authenticity over pretense.
We just wanna be
Expressing the simple desire to be.
We just wanna be
Reiterating the wish to be without pretense.
Better today
Aspiring to be better in the present.
Trying hard not to feel so ashamed
Attempting to avoid feelings of shame.
Just wanna feel like I'll be okay
Simply wanting to feel okay and secure.
Cause it comes in waves
Referring to life's challenges that come and go.
Everything has to slow down, just wait
Expecting things to slow down and waiting for improvement.
I know I'm gonna see better, better days
Anticipating and believing in a better future.
