Song Lyrics

Friday night and the moon is high
I'm wide awake just watchin' you sleep
And I promise you you're gonna have
More than just the things that you need
We ain't got much now; we're just starting out
But I know somehow Paradise is coming

[Chorus]
Someday, baby
You and I are gonna be the ones
Good luck's gonna shine
Someday, baby
You and I are gonna be the ones
So hold on, we're headed for a better life

Oh, now there's a place for you and me
Where we can dream as big as the sky
I know it's hard to see it now
But, baby, someday we're gonna fly
This road we're on, you know it might be long
But my faith is strong
It's all that really matters

[Chorus]

So hold on, hold on
C'mon, baby, hold on
Yeah, we're gonna have it all, and oh

[Chorus: x2]

A better life now, oh ho, a better life
Hey, we're gonna leave this all behind us, baby, wait and see
We're headed for a better life, you and me
We're gonna break the chains that bind and finally we'll be free
We're gonna be the ones that have it all, you and me
Just hold on tight now, baby, whoa
