Better Place Lyrics

You're one of the lights
still shining through
Giving so much more than you take
That's what you do
while you carry that heavy load
And everyone around you knows
but you don't know how wonderful you are

You make the world a better place
with your kindness
and your grace
You make the world a better place to be

I can't deny
I can't deny
that it's a hard world
For some it is a dark world
but there are a billion lights shining
Oh, don't stop shining

You make the world a better place
with your kindness
and your grace
You make the world a better place to be

'Cause what is it worth
if we're not being kind?

You do so much that nobody sees
Moving quietly behind the scenes
But you don't have to do anything to prove

That you make the world a better place
with your kindness
and your grace
You make the world a better place to be

All I know
is that if we all could just stick together
we can make it through
this storm
of indifference, violence and greed

'Cause what is it worth
if we're not being kind to anyone?
What's it all worth
if we haven't got time for anyone?

Sarah Joyce – stage name Rumer – has come a long way since winning the school’s talent show back in 1994. In 2010 She released her debut single Slow and saw it named single of the week on Radio 2.

According to the Slow Songfacts, Sarah spent the early years of her life in Pakistan,having been born in Islamabad on 3rd June 1979, where her father was the chief-engineer of the enormous Tarbela Dam, 30 miles to the northwest of Islamabad. The youngest of seven children, living in an expat colony without TV or newspapers, Rumer and her family would often sing and write songs together. Her brother Rob gave Rumer her first guitar; which she taught herself to play, and on which, years later, she wrote all the songs on her debut album, Seasons of My Soul.

The singer/songwriter spent her teenage years in Carlisle at Newman School before leaving at 16 to pursue her ambition. It has been a hard slog but years later she is finally hitting the big time and gradually becoming a household name. She now hopes her success will inspire other young people to follow their dreams.

Having had her single listed ahead of its release on both Radio 2 and Magic FM, she is also preparing to support Jools Holland on his UK tour this autumn – the finale being a show at the Albert Hall.

She also has a celebrity fan in the form of easy listening legend Burt Bacharach, who invited her to sing for him when she visited California. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
