Text: Michelle Williams. Better Place (September 11).

Let me tell you I appreciate all the love and strength you've shown
I know it's hard to keep a smile on your face
And nobody could eva' take their place
Every mother, every sister, brother, every child that's now gone
I know they're smilin' looking down on your face
In a better place, I'll hear them say

Can't nobody hurt me
Can't nobody fade me
I'm resting in a better place
Can't nobody harm me
Can't nobody touch me
I'm resting in a better place

I'll keep standing through the trial of life even if I stand alone
Through the times when I feel I can't go on
I feel a hand pushin' me upward
Man, I don't have no time for haters, this journey will be love
I'm in a much better state of mind
And this is where I'll stay, a better place

Can't nobody hurt me
Can't nobody fade me
I'm resting in a better place
Can't nobody harm me
Can't nobody touch me
I'm resting in a better place


No more sorrows
I'm okay now
I miss you, I'm always in your heart
A better place

Can't nobody hurt me
Can't nobody fade me
I'm resting in a better place
Can't nobody harm me
Can't nobody touch me
I'm resting in a better place

Can't nobody hurt me
Can't nobody fade me
I'm resting in a better place
Can't nobody harm me
Can't nobody touch me
I'm resting in a better place

Mmm, mmm, say, "Mmm"
C'mon say, "Mmm"
C'mon say, "Mmm"
