I awoke a wiser man
With the birds in song as if to say
You hold the world in the palm of your hand
Now don't let it slip away
You are living proof
That it's worth living through
My darkest of days
Cause everything gets better
When I hear you calling out my name
Long ago and far away
And a couple places in between
Stands a boy up as tall as he can
Just to see what he can see
You are living proof
That it's worth getting through
Everything that just ain't meant to be
Cause everything got better
When I first saw you smiling up at me
The days are long
But the years are short
And you can rest assured
You'll always have my heart
And a little more
If I had known what this would take
I'd do it all again
But from the top and this time
I'd take it all in
And live for the journey til the end
You are living proof
That maybe I'm just living
Get through another day
But everything gets better
Everything gets better
Kid, everything gets better
Knowing you'd love me anyway
