Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm better sober, sober
Clear view in all my thoughts
Seasons over, over
A million of blessings brought
Weathering the pain to cope
Hold me close, I know
Sunny days are meant to come
'Cause rain don't ever last too long
[Verse 1]
Older now, all this weight is sitting on my shoulders now
Days are longer and the nights are colder now
Gotta stay alert and keep it sober now
If I pull away, I'm fighting gravity
I just wanna see my family proud of me
Faith undoubtedly, this ain't lottery
I was focused on me more than God, that's a lot of me
If I don't fit in, then I'll be fine, I'm anomaly
[PreChorus]
Oh, take your time
All of this don't happen overnight, oh yeah
Don't get tired
Better days are on the other side, oh yeah
[Chorus]
I'm better sober, sober
Clear view in all my thoughts
Seasons over, over
A million of blessings brought
Weathering the pain to cope
Hold me close, I know
Sunny days are meant to come
'Cause rain don't ever last too long
[PostChorus]
I had to dig for something real
I had to get it out the field
I had to dig deep and wake up
I had some demons to kill
Weathering the pain to cope
Hold me close, I know
Sunny days are meant to come
'Cause rain don't ever last too long
[Verse 2]
I heard that life should be a vibrant thing, not this violent thing
Been in winter lookin' for violet spring
I was getting high off of pride, drinkin' lies and things
Tryna cover my insecurity with shiny things
Too corrupted to see that I was beloved
Couldn't humble myself because I thought I was above it
So I laid down and died, and to my surprise, I resurrected
No longer intoxicated with all this misdirection
[PreChorus]
They told me, "Oh, take your time"
All of this don't happen overnight, oh yeah
Don't get tired
Better days are on the other side, oh yeah
[Chorus]
I'm better sober, sober
Clear view in all my thoughts
Seasons over, over
A million of blessings brought
Weathering the pain to cope
Hold me close, I know
Sunny days are meant to come
'Cause rain don't ever last too long
[PostChorus]
I had to dig for something real
I had to get it out the field
I had to dig deep and wake up
I had some demons to kill
Weathering the pain to cope
Hold me close, I know
Sunny days are meant to come
'Cause rain don't ever last too long
[Outro]
I had to dig for something real
I had to get it out the field
I had to dig deep and wake up
I had some demons to kill
