Lyrics
Verse 1
God thank You for my family and for all my blessings
I don't deserve 'em but You keep on pourin' out from Heaven
You're patient with me when I stumble and I'm learnin' lessons
That's the thing that keeps me humble, on the right direction
Strength that keeps my hopes up, keep my head up, keep my eyes up
I never have to question Your love
I'll hold on to promise until it comes, sooner or later
Chorus
I guess I'm waitin' for some better days
Some better days
I know I'm gonna see some better days
Some better days
Verse 2
God called about my pride, I think I missed the message
I swear I try best but it's so hard not livin' reckless
I pray for grace to be extensive 'cause I'm such a menace
I guess I'm waitin' for some better days instead of trenches
I'm tryna keep my hopes up, keep my head up, keep my eyes up
Some things are easier said than done
Every dark night gonna see the sun, sooner or later
Chorus
I guess I'm waitin' for some better days
Some better days
I know I'm gonna see some better days
Some better days
I guess I'm waitin' for some better days
Some better days
I know I'm gonna see some better days
Some better days
Bridge
I know You said they're on the way
I'll trust in every word You say
And even if it's far away
I guess I'm stubborn so I'll wait
I guess I'm stubborn so I'll wait, wait, breakthrough's comin'
Wait, wait, healing's comin'
Wait, wait, freedom's comin' (Wait, wait)
Wait, wait, it's still comin'
Wait, wait, strength is comin'
Wait, wait, joy is comin'
Wait, wait, Heaven's comin'
Chorus
And we all gon' see some better days
Some better days
I said we gonna see some better days
Some better days
Yeah, we all gonna see some better days
Some betters days
Hallelujah for some better days
(Hallelujah for some) Some betters days
Outro
Wait, wait
Wait, wait
Hallelujah for some better days

Meaning & Inspiration
“Better Days” frames Christian hope as patient trust rather than denial of hardship. The verses acknowledge pride, reckless choices, and repeated stumbles while giving thanks for family, blessing, grace, and God’s steady love. Its recurring expectation of brighter days rests on divine promises, even when relief seems distant. Images of keeping the head and eyes lifted reinforce perseverance without pretending that endurance is easy.
The bridge broadens that expectation through a sequence of awaited gifts: breakthrough, healing, freedom, strength, joy, and heaven. That movement gives the song an eschatological dimension while remaining connected to present struggles. Its language may recall biblical calls to wait for the Lord and remain joyful in hope, though the lyric presents those ideas in direct, conversational terms. The closing hallelujah turns waiting into praise, suggesting that confidence in God can shape worship before circumstances change.
