Lyrics A Better Place - The Hollies

My daddy was a wandering man
And my ma was good and true
I've tried to live like my pa
But ma, I'm more like you
I wanna teach people to love
I wanna teach children to sing
I wanna make this world a better place
For everyone to live in
My daddy thought that drinkin' wine
Was something every man should do
He wanted me to drink and fight
But ma, I turned up more like you
I wanna teach people to love
I wanna teach children to sing
I wanna make this world a better place
For everyone to live in
Oh, mama
I wanna be like you
Oh, mama
You gotta help me to
We gotta teach people to love
We gotta teach children to sing
We gotta make this world a better place
For everyone to live in
We gotta teach people to love
We gotta teach children to sing
We gotta make this world a better place
For everyone to live in
We gotta teach people to love
We gotta teach children to sing
We gotta make this world a better place
