Better Place - Bebe & Cece Winans

Yesterday we lost a life

And we say, «what, another one?»

No one cares, so why should I

So we go right on having fun

Yet who knows what tomorrow brings, yeah

Take a look at what the future holds

Broken lives and shattered dreams

More to come I’m being told

We’re living in such a mean world

Glad I’m headed for a better place

Come on, why not meet me there

To miss all this would be a waste

We’re living in such a mean world

Glad I’m headed for a better place

Oh, yeah, headed for a better place

We talk about a better world

Then they prove that talk is cheap

Sending aid to outer space

While our homeless walk the streets

Their calling right what’s really wrong

(That's what we do)

Calling love what isn’t love

Headed straight for no return, yeah

Only hope is from above

We’re living in such a mean world

I’m headed for a better place, yes, I am

So come on, why not meet me there

To miss all this would be a waste

We’re living in such a mean world, yes, we are

Glad I’m headed for a better place

Said, yes, I am, yes, I am

I’m headed for a better place, yeah

Oh, yeah, yeah

Headed for a better place

(Better accommodations)

Yes, we are

A better place

(No more racial tension)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, a better place

(Previous song I mentioned)

I said a better place

(Heaven is what I live for)

That’s right, a better place

Don’t you know I’m going, y’all

Hey, I said a better place

Look, wait

Wait, one more thing, before I go

What, BeBe?

You’ve been invited to a better place

A better place

Yeah, yeah

I’m going, yeah

It’s a B-E-T-T-E-R P-L-A-C-E…
