Better Day (ghetto Girl) Lyrics

Here's the story 'bout a ghetto girl
Livin' in a ghetto world
Against the world alone
Problems in her ordinary life
Make you wanna run and hide
She can never get it right
Like the seasons when they change
Nothin' ever stays the same
Surrounded by pain and empty dreams
So I pray there's gotta be a better day
(I'm prayin' for a better day)
New day, gotta be a better way
(I'm tryna find a better way)
See many times she didn't have a dime
When the bills would multiply
Contemplated suicide
And mom and dad never had that special touch
Daddy touched her way too much

Finally she had enough
Like the seasons when they change
Nothin' ever stays the same
Surrounded by pain and empty dreams
And she's so alone livin' in the ghetto
(I'm prayin' for a better day)
I'm tryna find a better place
Baby, don't you cry
Hush little baby, please don't you cry
Baby, there's no need to cry
Just reach for the sky
Don't worry baby, you'll be alright
So learn how to smile
Kiss your tears goodbye
(I'm prayin' for a better day)
She was a little ghetto child
And then she turned her life around another day
(I'm tryna find a better way)
And I gotta find another way
Baby, don't you cry, you can spread your wings
And learn to fly high, high
Baby, dry your eyes, you can spread your wings
And learn to fly high, so high
Baby, don't you cry, you can spread your wings
And learn to fly high, high
Baby, dry your eyes, you can spread your wings
And learn to fly high, so high
Said she gotta get outta the ghetto
Oh yes
