Story Behind The Song
Sitting on the beach one morning, I saw the sun come up, and my wife asked me "what are you doing?"
I sarcastically said " Waiting on the world to get better"
That's where the idea came from.
Song Description
It seems like a lot of people are waiting for the world to get better.
But if you 'give a little bit' of yourself, your time or ??? everyday, maybe tomorrow it will be a better place.

Lyrics
Every day the sun comes from the ocean
and every day I try see things a better way
so much pain, so much sorrow
sometimes I can't wait, can't wait for tomorrow
We're waiting on the world
waiting on the world
waiting on the world
to get better
We're waiting on the world
waiting on the world
waiting on the world
to get better
so much greed and injustice
why sit around in darkness
so many mouths that will not be fed
so many sleeping the street is still their bed
they're waiting on the world,
waiting on the world
waiting on the world
to get better
We're waiting on the world
waiting on the world
waiting on the world
to get better
peace will come one day to chase your blues away
don't wanna sit and wait to see this reality
give a little bit give a little bit
each and every day
helping out starts
til we find a better way
We're waiting on the world
waiting on the world
waiting on the world
to get better
We're waiting on the world
waiting on the world
waiting on the world
to get better
We're waiting on the world
waiting on the world
waiting on the world
to get better
