A Better Place - The Hollies

My daddy was a wandering man

And my ma was good and true

I’ve tried to live like my pa

But ma I’m more like you

I wanna teach people to love

I wanna teach children to sing

I wanna make this world a better place

For everyone to live in

My daddy thought that drinking wine

Was something every man should do

He wanted me to drink and fight

But ma I turned up more like you

I wanna teach people to love

I wanna teach children to sing

I wanna make this world a better place

For everyone to live in

Oh mama

I wanna be like you

Oh mama

You gotta help me to

We gotta teach people to love

We gotta teach children to sing

We gotta make this world a better place

For everyone to live in
