Rey D’s Story
When I wrote the song “Better in Time”, it was a period in my life where I was experiencing heavy anxiety mixed with disappointments that fueled my thoughts of depression. I was feeling pressured on the decisions that I needed to make or not make and had reached a point where I asked God that if he wanted to take my life in my sleep He can do so because I was tired of it all.
Then, there was one night when I couldn’t seem to fall sleep for some reason. Instead of just lying in bed with my mind swimming in so many thoughts at once, I got up and sat in front of my piano and began to play. From the sound of me playing, I began to find words to express myself. “Sitting here thinking what else could go wrong., I know I shouldn’t be anxious but these feelings are way to strong…”
As I kept on going, I realized I was starting to get a full song and something inside kept reminding me that if I hold on and keep the hope and faith, that it will all “Get Better in Time.”
So, even though the struggles that I was facing with no end in sight, I kept holding on to the positive thought that I will make it through. Although things can get pretty bad, keep on keeping on because life isn’t perfect, but it is definitely worth it, and it will get “better in time.”
Lyrics
Sitting here, thinking what else could go wrong
I know I shouldn’t be anxious, but these feelings are way too strong
I seems as if my best wasn’t good enough no more
So I’m ready to throw in the towel, Give up cause I’m lost for sure
And then a voice within me says
I know life’s rough but don’t quit, Just get up and try
It’ll get better, get better in time
I know you’ve been waiting for a while
But it’ll get better, get better in time
Never give up now, you’re made for a purpose
Even when times get hard you’ll be fine
Know that life’s worth it, though it’s not perfect
It will get better, get better in time
See, I know what it is to be stacked against the odds
An endless cycle of failing, Feeling nothing will go right in your life
Being so down in the dumps you never think you will recover
But I want to encourage you to keep on fighting
Don’t get weary in well doing
Your time will come to reap the harvest you have sowed into
Never give up
Good, better, best, never let it rest
Til your good is better and your better is best
Declare your joy won’t be taken today
Show that darkness that you are about to light a way
You can’t change your past, but I will say
You can use it to learn from your mistakes
Even when the sky is dark and the clouds are gray
Just know that the sun is just a day away
I know life’s rough but don’t quit, Just get up and try
It’ll get better, get better in time
I know you’ve been waiting for a while
But it’ll get better, get better in time
Never give up now, you’re made for a purpose
Even when times get hard you’ll be fine
Know that life’s worth it, though it’s not perfect
It will get better, get better in time
