I remember childhood
Runnin' through the grass
Building forts with sticks
I wish I could go back

I'm always lookin' backwards
The good things never last
I've wasted half my years
Livin' in the past

Like a leaf, you turn to start again
It was good when you began
But better is the end

Like a seed, in a flower bed
Then you water it
How better is the end

I'm still growin' up
Doing the best I can
Every day I'm learning
To be a better man

I'm learning to be patient
I'm learning to be kind
I'll spend all my life
Learning to lose my pride

Like a stream, into a river bed
Ocean's round the bend
How better is the end

Like an oak, towers overhead
Through the years it has led
It's better in the end

It's just human instinct, to go with the new thing
To forget that a dream takes time before it's fulfilled
You're excited to start, but when it all falls apart
It's easier to look somewhere new instead of rebuild
By the time that you're through, it seems you've had renew
c million times, jumpin' to get on every trend
But a bit of a good thing, turns into a great thing
If you stick it out you'll find that better is the end

Like a faith, new when you begin
The promise is ahead
How better is the end

Like a love that started out as friends
We couldn't comprehend
How better is the end

Better is the end than the beginning
