Better Way

In a world full of pain, hunger and need Tell me—who is really free? If my brother's in chains Then how can I breathe? Who said we're all equal That we could live just as people? Tell me, what would it take For you and me to be free? For you and me to find us a better way In a world of lies and insecurity To rise up and take a stand Rise up and take a stand, yeah You—you know that you can Under perfect blue skies lie anger and hate It's hard to keep your faith If there's no dignity Then how can we breathe? I'm sure we're all equal That we could live just as people Tell me, what would it take For you and me to be free? For you and me to find us a better way In this world of lies and insecurity To rise up and take a stand Can we really be free? You—you know that you can If we could only just open our minds Shake off those doubts—you know they hypnotise Ain't none of us gonna live forever But we could try to make it Better, better, better, better Chorus: Tell me, what would it take? (What would it take? Yeah, yeah) For you and me to find us a better way We gotta find a better way To rise up and take a stand (Take a stand, take a stand, take a stand) You—you know that you can Chorus / Outro: Tell me, what would it take For you and me to be free? Yeah For you and me to find us a better way In this world of lies and insecurity To rise up and take a stand Can we really be free? Yeah You—you know that you can You know that you can [Outro – Refrain] You can make a stand You know that you can Stand up for your fellow man Make a stand You know that you can Yes—we can Written by Heather Small / Niclas Windahl / Pontus Söderqvist
