The OUTMusic Award winning artist has added his effort to the It Gets Better campaign the way he knows best by adding his songwriting skills and amazing voice to the chorus of people who speak to the LGBT Youth suffering from bullying and discrimination. Like the rest of Nhojj's music, Things Will Get Better is beautiful, with an ethereal quality and sung from the heart. But rather than have me blather on, this is the song.
It is availabe for purchase on Bandcamp for 99 cents. You can click here to buy it here. The lyrics to the song are:
Is this what they say?
Is this what they do?
That makes you want to fade away
Are these the words that they use?
Do they bully and abuse?
Just because you’re gay
Well I’ve been there before and I know how you feel
We all walk through this door
And somehow learn to live
And on the other side
You can stand with pride
Things will get better
Things will get brighter
I promise it will
Things will get better
Your days will look brighter
I promise it will
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
Love saves a child like me
I once was lost
But now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
Things will get better
Life will shine brighter
I promise it will
Some will be nicer
Some will be kinder
Things will get better
Love will bring laughter
Things will get better
Love will bring laughter
Is this what they do?
That makes you want to fade away
Are these the words that they use?
Do they bully and abuse?
Just because you’re gay
Well I’ve been there before and I know how you feel
We all walk through this door
And somehow learn to live
And on the other side
You can stand with pride
Things will get better
Things will get brighter
I promise it will
Things will get better
Your days will look brighter
I promise it will
Amazing Grace
How sweet the sound
Love saves a child like me
I once was lost
But now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
Things will get better
Life will shine brighter
I promise it will
Some will be nicer
Some will be kinder
Things will get better
Love will bring laughter
Things will get better
Love will bring laughter
