Better Place Lyrics by Ray Curenton

Believer, a.k.a. The Last Shall Be the First

2023

[Verse 1]
I need to believe it
And what I feel can’t be downplayed
Cus this life that we’re given
Is overdue for an upgrade
I know there must be something greater
It’s on the way sooner or later
But of this I am certain
I know it best not be delayed
[Chorus]
(Don’t you want to go?) And I don’t need streets paved with gold
(Don’t you want to go?) Don’t need great prophecies foretold
(Don’t you want to go?) I need peace, land and bread
Where there’s no more death
And life’s actually worth living
(I wanna go) Be reunited with my father
(I wanna go) And no one’s greater than the other
(I wanna go) I, I, I, I wanna get
Wanna get, gotta get to that better place
I, I wanna get
Wanna get, gotta get to that better place
[Verse 2]
No hunger, no diseases
The end of poverty and war
The thought of no oppression
Is what I’m breathing for
I’m over wages for my labor
Why can’t I just trust in my neighbor?
Where discovery and wonder
Is right outside my own front door
[Chorus]
(Don’t you want to go?) And I don’t need streets paved with gold
(Don’t you want to go?) Don’t need great prophecies foretold
(Don’t you want to go?) I need peace, land and bread
Where there is no more death
And life’s actually worth living
(I wanna go) Be reunited with my father
(I wanna go) And no one’s greater than the other
(I wanna go) I, I, I, I wanna get
Wanna get, gotta get to that better place
I, I, I, I wanna get
Wanna get, gotta get to that better place
[Spoken]
Now look here, see, the thing is…
If we’re gonna see this thing then we gotta be about this thing
We gotta manifest this thing, you know?
So follow me like…
Yea, I wanna go to that better place, yea
I gotta get to that better place
(I wanna go to that better place, yea
I gotta get to that better place)
[Vamp]
I wanna go to that better place
I gotta get to that better place
(I wanna go to that better place
I gotta get to that better place)
I wanna go to that better place
I gotta get to that better place
(I wanna go to that better place
I gotta get to that better place)
