Better is the End

I remember childhood

Runnin' through the grass

Building forts with sticks

I wish I could go back

I'm always lookin' backwards

The good things never last

I've wasted half my years

Livin' in the past

Like a leaf, you turn to start again

It was good when you began

But better is the end

Like a seed, in a flower bed

Then you water it

How better is the end

I'm still growin' up

Doing the best I can

Every day I'm learning

To be a better man

I'm learning to be patient

I'm learning to be kind

I'll spend all my life

Learning to lose my pride

Like a stream, into a river bed

Ocean's round the bend

How better is the end

Like an oak, towers overhead

Through the years it has led

It's better in the end

It's just human instinct, to go with the new thing

To forget that a dream takes time before it's fulfilled

You're excited to start, but when it all falls apart

It's easier to look somewhere new instead of rebuild

By the time that you're through, it seems you've had renew

A million times, jumpin' to get on every trend

But a bit of a good thing, turns into a great thing

If you stick it out you'll find that better is the end

Like a faith, new when you begin

The promise is ahead

How better is the end

Like a love that started out as friends

We couldn't comprehend

How better is the end

Better is the end than the beginning
