(from the Sanctus) - Catholic Gregorian Chant

LYRICS:
Rain falls outside
I think the sky must know what's happening tonight
Children born while fathers die
It's that circle of life that we all live in time

And we've been friends for a long, long time
So, if you can't talk, just cry
And know that we will talk
On the other side

It's bitter cold outside
But the sun still shines 'cuz we can feel it
Benjamin, you mark the life
That's been left behind, we see him in your eyes

And we will be friends for a long, long time
So, until you can talk, just cry
And know that we will talk
For the rest of our lives

And He gives and He takes
And it makes us strong
When He gives, He takes
And it makes us strong

When He gives and He takes
And it makes us strong
When He gives, He takes
And He makes us strong

'Cuz we will be friends for a long, long time
So, until you can talk, just cry
And know that we will talk
For the rest of our lives

'Cuz we will be friends for a long, long time
So, until you can talk, just cry
And know that we will talk
For the rest of our lives

Just know that we'll be friends
For the rest of our lives

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
I don't want to be on my phone but I can't be alone
Welcome to the modern way
Trying to be somebody I'm not but it's not what I want
Tell me there's another way

[Pre-Chorus]
All of the lights I chased are now faded
All the cheap thrills were only time wasted
Tell me why society's plan should define who I am
Surely there's a higher way

[Chorus]
All of my best friends are sick of pretending
We want the truth (We want it, we want it)
So much is missing
So give us the real thing
I know it's You
(Na-na, na-na, na)
(Na-na, na-na, na)
(Na-na, na-na, na)

[Verse 2]
I don't want a stereotype
To decide who I am
It never knew me anyway
I'm over trying to find the next hype
'Cause the high never lasts
I'ma go another way

[Pre-Chorus]
All of the lights I chased are now faded
Dylan was right the times they are changing
Tell me why society's plan should define who I am
Surely there's a higher way

[Chorus]
All of my best friends are sick of pretending
We want the truth (We want it, we want it)
So much is missing
So give us the real thing
I know it's You
(Na-na, na-na, na)
(Na-na, na-na, na)
(Na-na, na-na, na)

[Chorus]
All of my best friends are sick of pretending
We want the truth (We want it, we want it)
So much is missing
So give us the real thing
I know it's You
I know

[Ending]
All of my best friends are sick of pretending
We want the truth (We want it, we want it)
So much is missing
So give us the real thing
I know it's You
And I know it's You

LYRICS
Shrouded in proof, You're the mystery
You're the truth that lives within the world we see
You're the hand that holds destiny

And I can't pretend I don't know
And I can't leave it alone, yeah yeah

You're the best kept secret in my generation
The best kept secret of all time
You're the best kept secret in my generation
And I found You out

You're the hope over the centuries
You're the cosmic force that rules the galaxies
You're the evidence that demands our belief

And I can't live for myself
I can't keep this all to myself, yeah yeah

You're the best kept secret in my generation
The best kept secret of all time
You're the best kept secret in my generation
And I found You out

The best kept secret in my generation
The best kept secret of all time
The best kept secret in my generation
And I, I found You out

Let it out, let it out
Let it out, let it out, yeah

And I can't pretend I don't know
And I can't leave it alone, yeah yeah

You're the best kept secret in my generation
The best kept secret of all time
You're the best kept secret in my generation
And I found You out

You're the best kept secret in my generation
The best kept secret of all time
You're the best kept secret in my generation
And I found You out, yeah

The best kept secret in my generation

LYRICS:
Some say, "Don't give up
And hope that your good is good enough
Head down, keep on working
If you can earn it, you deserve it"

Some say, "Push on through
After all, it's the least that you can do
But don't buy what they're sellin'
It couldn't be further from the truth"

What if I were the one to tell you
That the fight's already been won?
Well, I think your day's about to get better
What if I were the one to tell you
That the work's already been done?
It's now a good news
It's the best news ever

Some say, "Don't ask for help
God helps the ones who help themselves
Press on, get it right
Otherwise, get left behind"
Some say, He's keeping score
So try hard, then try and lean on Lord
Hold up, if this weren't true
Explain to me what the cross is for

What if I were the one to tell you
That the fight's already been won?
Well, I think your day's about to get better
What if I were the one to tell you
That the work's already been done?
It's now a good news
It's the best news ever
Best news ever

So won't you come?
Come all you weary and you burdens
You heavy laden and you hurting
For all of you with nothing left
Come and find rest

(What if I) what if I were the one to tell you
That the fight's already been won?
Well, I think your day's about to get better
What if I were the one to tell you?
That the work's already been done
It's now a good news
It's the best news ever
Best news ever

It's now a good news
It's the best news ever
Best news ever
It's now a good news
It's the best news ever

LYRICS:
Why would I want to try and meet You halfway?
Why would I back down when there's still a fight in me?
Why only give You what I hold in my hands?
Why would I ever jump with nowhere to land?
And why surrender if I won't go to my knees?

I won't just give You the best of me
When You want, You want my everything

Who am I to give You just the pretty things?
Am I the same as the one who gives You nothing?
And what if nothing was what You chose to do
All because the cost was too much for You?
I can't imagine where I would be

I won't just give You the best of me
When You want, You want my everything
Won't You come and take what's left
And while You're here, take the rest
I won't just give You the best of me

Not just my heart
But my life too!
Oh I belong, I belong
I belong to You!

I won't just give You the best of me
When You want, You want my everything
Won't You come and take what's left
And while You're here, take the rest
I won't just give You the best of me

LYRICS:
Hey girl in the back of the classroom
Afraid to stand out
So scared you'll say the wrong thing
So you don't make a sound
Paper planes in the sky crashing one at a time
Praying that they don't land where you hide

Baby, I've been there
I've seen it all before
Baby, I was you
Hoping for something more
And baby, I promise
Cross my heart that in time
It'll get better, it'll get better

Whoa oh, whoa oh
It'll get better
Whoa oh, whoa oh
It's gonna get better

Hey girl in the back of the classroom
Just be strong
Some days feel like forever
But it won't be long
Until you're sitting on the top of the world
Baby, believe it
Like a paper plane in the sky
You'll fly

I've been there
I've seen it all before
Baby, I was you
Hoping for something more
Baby, I promise
Cross my heart that in time
It'll get better, it's gonna get better

I know you're hurting inside
And you just wanna cry
I know your hurting inside, inside yeah
But tell all the shadows goodbye
Show them your bright side
I know, I know, yeah (oh)
It's gonna get better
Just hold on

'Cause baby, I've been there
I've seen it all before
Baby, I was you
Hoping for something more
Baby, I promise
Cross my heart that in time
It'll get better, it's gonna get better yeah

Whoa oh, whoa oh
It'll get better
Whoa oh, whoa oh
It's gonna get better
Whoa oh, whoa oh
It's gonna get better (it's gonna get better)
Whoa oh, whoa oh
It's gonna get better
Hey girl in the back of the classroom
Just be strong

LYRICS
Devastated, an understatement
It's not part of the plan
You're asking why He didn't stop it
If the whole world's in His hands
Suffocating in the waiting
And your faith is wearing down
But there's hope even though

You can't understand the pain of your road
He's in the future, He knows something you don't
One day, you'll see, you'll be on the other side of this
All done with it
Better because of it, because of it
Better because of it, because of it

Someone's gonna need your story to get them through the night
Someone's gonna see His glory, by the way, He won your fight
There's a breaking in the waiting
And the storm keeps bearing down
But there's hope even though, even though

You can't understand the pain of your road
He's in the future, He knows something you don't
One day, you'll see, you'll be on the other side of this
All done with it
Better because of it, because of it
Better because of it, oh

Everything that you think will break you
Are the things that He'll use to make you
So hold on longer, so hold on
Everything that you think will kill you
Are the things that He'll use to build you
So you'll be stronger, you'll be
You're better because of it, ayy
Suffocating in the waiting
And your faith is wearing down, mmm

Better because of it, because of it
Better because of it, because of it
Better because of it, oh
Ooh, oh yeah

He's making you stronger through it all
Making you stronger

This song says that there’s so many of us navigating a challenging season. We’re clinging to hope that there are better days ahead. We can simultaneously be in a hard season while also acknowledging God’s goodness and faithfulness. We can even catch glimpses of ‘better days’ here and there. But what truly stands out is that this means we’re not alone. You’re not alone. We’re all in this together waiting for God to do something. I guess we’re all just waiting for some better days.

LYRICS:
When you're standing on the edge, barely hanging by a thread
You hear your heart convince your head that you just can't no more
You just can't no more

When there's nothing left to give, and you wanna call it quits
No longer strong enough to pick yourself up off the floor
Up off the floor

Hold on, my friend
'Cause there'll be

Better days coming, don't give up
The hands that are holding tomorrow are still holding onto us
Better days coming, watch and see
We'll dance through the pain and the sorrow
Knowing there's gonna be better days

So don't you get too comfortable where you're living, ain't your home?
Soon the promise gonna come, I know it won't be long
It won't be long

Hope is tearing through the night, shadows running from the light
Love's awakening inside, just like a brand-new song
Like a brand-new song

Better days coming, don't give up
The hands that are holding tomorrow are still holding onto us
Better days coming, watch and see
We'll dance through the pain and the sorrow
Knowing there's gonna be better days

Better days

Better days, better days

If it's not good, then it's not over yet (not over)
I promise you this is not the end
(No it's not, no it's not the end)
If it's not good, then it's not over yet (not over)
I promise you this is not the end

Better days coming, don't give up (don't give up)
The hands that are holding tomorrow are still holding onto us
Better days coming, watch and see (we believe, we believe)
We'll dance through the pain and the sorrow
Knowing there's gonna be better days

(If it's not good) then it's not over yet (not over)
(I promise you) this is not the end
There's gonna be better day

(If it's not good) then it's not over yet (not over)
(I promise you) this is not the end
Better days, better days
