A CHILD IS COMING
Last electric Sunday morning
waiting in the park for the dawn
Listening to all the animals
in the park and in the city beyond
Crashing with my lady
Sky going black to blue
She said "I've gotta' surprise for you"
A child is coming
A child is coming
A child is coming to you
What are we going to do when Uncle Samuel comes around
asking for the young one's name
Looking for the print of his hand
or the files in their number's game
I don't want his chances for freedom
ever be that slim
Let's not tell em' about him
A child is coming
A child is coming
A child is coming to you
It's gettin' better (to be born)
It's gettin' better (feels like a morning)
It's gettin' better (it's growing)
Brighter (shining)
It's gettin' better (changing)
It's gettin' better (gathering)
It's gettin' brighter (spreading)
Together (with each other)
It's gettin' brighter (to tell the truth)
It's gettin' brighter (to feel like)
It's gettin' better (to be born)
It's gettin' better (to create)
It's gettin' better (to learn)
It's gettin' brighter (to grow)
It's gettin' done (to change)
It's gettin' briighter (let me learn)
It's gettin' better (we can learn to live)
Together (we can work it out)
All of us together (building)
It's gettin' better (building)
It's gettin' brighter (gathering)
It's gettin' brighter (shining)
It's gettin' better (learning)
It's gettin' done (learning)
It's gettin' better (daahaadaahaah)
Offering (growing brighter)
We'll all (they'll all survive)
Survive and grow (aah............)
It's gettin' better (aah............)
It's morning (shining)
Dawn (growing)
It's gettin' better (it's being born)
Ooh, (gettin' higher)
It's gettin' better (.........)
It's gettin' better (high)
It's gettin' brighter (amongst the redwoods)
It's gettin' better (..........)
It's gettin' better (it's growing)
Together (shining)
It's getting better (gathering)
All of us together (............)
...................... (changing)
It's gettin' better (growing)
It's gettin' better (we're learning)
It's gettin' better (we can change)
It's gettin' better (we can work it out)
It's gettin' better (we can learn, yes we can)
Dawn (sunshine)
It's gettin' brighter (............)
It's gettin' brighter (shine)
It's gettin' brighter (aah.....)
It's gettin' brighter (shine)
It's gettin' better (aah.....)
It's gettin' brighter
It's gettin' better
It's gettin' better....................
