Better Than We Found It

I've been MIA for too long, I know
I guess I couldn't stay, I found my way back home
Funny how things change, this ain't the place I know
I guess I'll set the pace at the place I grow
And I know that you are probably not too proud of me
But look up at the stars, we were not made to be ordinary

Yeah, ever since I was a kid, knew there was more than this
They taught us all about the money, never how to live
Find a good job and a decent relationship
But what's it worth when you're finished?
Yeah, looking up at the stars thinking maybe one day you'll be one
But what if we are already?
Look deep into your heart, find the fire burning like the sun
You'll see that your soul is ready

I don't wanna change the world
I just wanna leave it better than I found it
I just wanna heal the hurt
I feel your pain let me help you get around it
'Cause I know when the world gets cold and there's nowhere left to go
So much pain leaves us feeling alone
We can leave it better than we found it
Better than we found it

Yeah, I've been up all night singing all these notes
Expressing my soul through the words I wrote
When I'm feeling low, this is the place I go
It's how I share my heart, it's all I really know
And I know that you are busy out there judging me
But look up at the stars, why would you wanna live ordinary?

Hold it down for me
I know you don't feel happy
You can put your trust in me
We can leave this better than we found it
Hold it down for me
I know you don't feel happy
You can put your trust in me
Don't wanna leave 'til it's better

I don't wanna change the world
I just wanna leave it better than I found it
I just wanna heal the hurt
I feel your pain let me help you get around it
'Cause I know when the world gets cold and there's nowhere left to go
So much pain leaves us feeling alone
We can leave it better than we found it
Better than we found it
