[Verse 1]
Tell me people, why you looking down?
Oh, I know what's going on, it won't come back around
Tell me people, it may look like the end
Don't let it drag you down, let's just try it again
[PreChorus]
I won't stand and tell you now that everything's alright
Even though the time's looking bad
You shouldn't be so worried, you shouldn't be so sad because
[Chorus]
People, I know we're bound for better days
I said people, better days will come our way
[Verse 2]
Tell me darling, why you lookin' so blue?
Won't you dry those tears now honey?
You got your wholе life ahead of you
[PreChorus]
Sometimеs you gotta look past the things that tear you down
Just get up and dance, sing it out loud
Soon you'll be happy, soon you'll be proud because
[Chorus]
People, I know we're bound for better days
And I said people, better days will come our way
[Verse 3]
I don't know what's around the bend
But I sure know that it's not the end
Soon you'll be happy, soon you will smile
You just have to wait, it might take a little while
[Verse 4]
Tell me people, why you looking down?
Oh, I don't know what's going on, it won't come back around
Tell me people, it may look like the end
But don't let it drag you down, let's just try it again
[Chorus]
Oh, I said people, I know we're bound for better days
I said people, better days will come our way
Oh, I said people, I know we're bound for better days
I said people, better days will come our way
[Refrain]
Better days will come our way
Better days will come our way
Better days will come our way
Better days will come our way
Ooh, I said people, better days will come our way
[Outro]
Oh, I feel them coming now
Bring it on, the better days
Come on now, I feel those better days
Oh, I said people, people, people
I can feel them, can't you feel them?
Oh, I feel them coming, baby
