From Janis: I consider Cheryl Wheeler to be one of the great songwriters of my generation. Her “Arrow” is one of my favorite songs, and if I don’t already own all her albums, I should. She’s also one of the funniest people on earth, able to keep me falling off my chair with laughter for a good ten minutes at a time. That’s really, really hard. It is an absolute honor to have her singing my song, something I never dreamed could happen.

BETTER TIMES WILL COME
(Janis Ian)

Better times, better times will come.
Better times, better times will come.
When this world learns to live as one,
oh, better times will come

When we greet each dawn without fear
knowing loved ones soon will be near
When the winds of war
cannot blow any more
Oh, better times will come

CHORUS

Though we live each day as our last
we know someday soon it will pass
We will dance, we will sing
in that never-ending spring
Oh, better times will come

CHORUS
