A Bit Better

Words are clay for sculptures, and for dwellings and for lives
Nicknames code for partnership, and for love that never dies
Progress comes when kindness comes from trauma in disguise
Protest ends in embrace while we calmly compromise

And I find myself wishing the dead could visit us
So we could hear them laugh, with their bellies
So you could see them, and they could know you
And you would both know me, you'd both know me
A bit better too
A bit better too

Unlike all the others, you were larger than your life
Joking, that wry smile, and the sparks light up your eyes
Teaching all the children, tone and stories mesmerize
Everyone knew you, impossible to eulogize

And I find myself wishing the dead could visit us
So we could hear them laugh, with their bellies
So you could see them, and they could know you
And you would both know me, you'd both know me
A bit better too
A bit better too

Some things haven't happened, but we're sure they surely will
Taking this for granted, and you're still here now until
Fractions of your soul and heart are fragments you've instilled
Imprints on the destinies encouraged, I'll fulfill

And I find, and I find, and I find

And I find myself wishing the dead could visit us
And we'll all laugh, with their bellies
So you could see me, and I could tell you
That you all made me - you still make me - so much better

And I find myself wishing the dead could visit us
And you would both know me, you'd both know me
A bit better too
