I've been wrong, wrong for so long
Living life like this, I just can't go on
Without a helping hand
I just can't seem to find my way
So I'll keep waiting, waiting for my better days
Better days

Now I said a prayer last night
When my day was through
That I could live my life
The way the lord would want me to
'Cause without a helping hand
I just can't seem to find my way
So I'll keep waiting, waiting for my better days
Better days

Tell me I have a home just as long as you have yours
'Cause there's a pain in my heart
Oh, that I've just got to cure
Please, please, baby, won't you take me in
There's been too many times I needed to find a true friend
Say you'll always, always tell the truth to me
'Cause there's been too many times
That I've been lied to and deceived
And somehow I got lost, and now I can't find my way
Oh, I guess I'll keep waiting, waiting for my better days
Better days

Tell me I have a home just as long as you have yours
'Cause there's a pain in my heart
Oh, that I've just got to cure
And somehow I got lost, and now I can't find my way
Oh, I guess I'll keep waiting
Waiting for my better days
Better days
