Purchase the song on iTunes (proceeds benefit The Trevor Project) - http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/it-gets-better/id399213116

An original song I wrote that was inspired by Dan Savage's wonderful "It Gets Better" project for saving our LGBTQ teenagers.

LYRICS:

And when you think you're all alone
Just remember down the road
It gets better
It gets so much better

And when you've almost given up
Just remember to look above
It gets better
It gets so much better

It gets better
And we are here to tell the world that
It gets better
And we are here to show the world that
It gets better
And we are here to make the world
A better place, for everyone
For everyone today

And when you think there's something wrong
Just remember that you belong
It gets better
It gets so much better

And when you feel that you're not worth much
Just remember you're worth a bunch
It gets better
It gets so much better

It gets better
And we are here to tell the world that
It gets better
And we are here to show the world that
It gets better
And we are here to make the world
A better place, for everyone
For everyone today

(Interlude)

It gets better
And we are here to tell the world that
It gets better
And we are here to show the world that
It gets better
And we are here to let you know that
It gets better
And we are here to say with love that
It gets better
And we are here to spread the news that
It gets better
And we are here to share with joy that
It gets better
And we are here to make the world
A better place, for everyone

For everyone that hears this song
Just remember to hum along
It gets better
It gets so much better

This video was featured for two seconds on ABC's Nightline as part of their segment on Dan Savage and the It Gets Better Project.

Sweetie that was so wonderful! Record! Or share and get all the celebs and/or large group to record and yeah - major awareness and fundraising possibilities!

[SeanChapin1]

@blueheron44, thanks for your comment! Regarding doing something like "We Are The World", the great news is that Broadway singers have come together to record an original song also called "It Gets Better", with proceeds from sales on iTunes going to The Trevor Project. You should listen to it - it's fantastic!

As for me, I'll be putting up my original song on iTunes in the next few weeks and also donate proceeds to The Trevor Project to help out the cause. Stay tuned!

Awesome! I'd sure like an SATB score so my chorus could sing this.

[SeanChapin1]

@KellyAertenNaylor, thanks for your comment! I haven't forgotten what you said, and as an FYI, I am presently working on making an arrangement or collaborating on an arrangement for any chorus can sing, and hopefully I'll have something ready very soon. Stay tuned!

Great job Sean I really liked this song one of your best to date

[SeanChapin1]

@depfox, thank you :).

[GlassAgate]

Didn't Jesus have a whole list of philosophies, things like: help the hungry,

sick, poor, blind, those who can't help themselves, etc? Why can't these people

(anti-gay types) spend their time running a soup kitchen, collecting clothes for those in need, or something else that actually would help society, instead of hurting many of the citizens, and even push one too many to end their lives?

[jriver0007]
