Ooh Child Lyrics
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child
Things'll get brighter
Ooh child
Things are gonna get easier
Ooh child
Things'll get brighter
Some day, yeah
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter
Ooh child
Things are gonna be easier
Ooh child
Things'll get be brighter
Ooh child
Things are gonna be easier
Ooh child
Things'll get be brighter
Some day, yeah
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter
Some day, yeah
We'll get it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter

This song has always made me cry when things get hard, money problems and what not. Though it does eventually get me to stop crying, and start focusing on figuring out how to fix the problem/s.
I can't believe no one else has commented on this one! This song reminds me of Boyz In The Hood.
i knwo why didnt anyone comment this song its seriously one of the greatest songs ive ever heard.
No one ever comments on the really good songs! This song is beautiful and it always gives you that happy feeling,even when things are not goin your way. I especially love the end where he says "Right now..." It always makes me smile. And yes, this song was on boyz in da hood and crooklyn also.
It's a great song with a great sentiment; it does make me happy to listen to it; great for when your problems are weighing on your mind; if you focus on the future with confidence and knuckle down and get through the tough times, things will get better. Everyone needs to hear this now and again.
how universal this song is! the narrator could be anybody: Ma, Brother, Sister, Lover, Friend, anybody - what a great message, and so simple - is there a more soulful tune than this?
best song ever? possibly.
@RoboticRoosteR tough question - the message is fantastic, I have similar thoughts about Man In The Mirror - that song is also so clear - but you are correct, this is great

“We’ll put it together and get it undone” This lyric is peculiar. I thought they were saying “get it ALL done” but the lyric is “get it undone.” Songs in this era often covered difficult or political subjects with happy feelings. “Getting it undone” in 1970 referred to getting an abortion. “Put it together” would refer to putting your money together. If you look at the lyrics in terms of a woman being consoled that hopefully she’ll get the money for her abortion, it (to use a modern term) hits different.
@UniversalP Oh, wow, thank you for explaining that. Now it makes sense. What a tough situation, explained in a beauteous song.\r\nMy shild just sang this song in his Christmas festival. I was really intrigued for the meaning of the lyrics. For a person who doesn\'t understand English sould sound a Christmas carol, evoking The child. Nothing is further from real meaning.

When you hit rock bottom there is nowhere to go but up from there. There is a life full of possibilities on the horizon...
I\'ve just read the toughness of the meaning of the lyrics. This song is so beautiful, could be a Christmas carol. Maybe someone could make a 2021 version, with nativity content...
