Could you walk through a town
See a boy beaten down 'gainst a wall,
And think nothing at all?
But you think nothing at all.
For the ones who can't see or not hear any sounds in this life,
Try to feel what that's like?
'cause no one gets to decide.
When days don't seem right just shine,
'cause this life is yours and mine.
On a day like today when you're walking away,
Hold your head up so high,
'cause I tell you from here...
That you've come so far,
And always be who you are.
When your head hits the floor,
And you're bleeding some more,
Let me tell you I swear...
That it does get better... from where you are.
For all those men in their skirts,
All the boys loving boys
And the girls loving girls,
I tell you it does get better.
Mmmm.

For all the lovers who have smiled
As they walked down the aisle in this life,
Saying beautiful words, they were finally heard.
And all the women and the men who've marched time and again
For this fight, they were finally right,
Now we're all breathing life...
And now that we've come so far,
And always stay who you are.
When we're walking so gay,
Hold your head high and say,
For the ones who can't see, from the challenges feared,
"you're not on your own,
Together were stronger,
Never get thrown".
When you're feeling so small,
Get your back off that wall,
Will you open your eyes?
'cause I tell you it does get better...
From where you are.
And if that sky up above sees the children you've loved,

And all the families you've grown,
From first being told "no,"
It get's better from where we are.
For all those men in their skirts,
All the girls who eat dirt,
All the boys loving boys
And the girls loving girls,

It gets better..
And now that we've come so far,
And always stay who you are,
For all those men in their skirts,
All the boys loving boys
And the girls loving girls...
I tell you it does get better...
