Better Days Are Coming
Embrace Hope: Better Days Ahead with Jimmy Cliff
Lyrics
Better days are coming by and by
Better days are expected in the future.
Don't you get down hearted, don't you cry
Encouragement to stay positive and not be disheartened.
Troubles will be over, all our joys come over
Difficulties will pass, and happiness will prevail.
Better days are coming by and by
Reiteration of the hope for better days to come.
Don't you know
Emphasis on the assurance that better days are coming.
Better days are coming by and by
Reiteration of the anticipation of positive times ahead.
Don't you get down hearted, don't you cry
A reminder to avoid despair and tears.
Sorrows will be over, all our joys come over
Belief that sorrows will end, and happiness will prevail.
Better days are coming by and by
Reaffirmation of the belief in better days to come.
It can't be this way always
Expressing that challenging times are temporary.
A train must come, a train must come

There must be some brighter days
Hope for a brighter and more joyful future.
We'll have fun, we'll have fun, yeah
