Lyrics

I've been in some hard times I seen a lot of good times But everyday I count my blessings this way 'Cause I know that every day's a different day My friends can change but His will never change And I knew there would be some time When I would second guess my mind So I kept on walking, kept on striving Kept on singing and guess who showed up As I walked down the street one day I thought I heard a brother say Living in bad conditions can make you feel like no one As long as I, that's why I always try And do my best to search inside But I knew there would be a day When I had to look the other way So I close my eyes and kept on pushin' I just kept looking and guess who showed up I told myself one day to fall on my knees and pray And never listen to no one if they can't be true to you No one should spend precious time living for material love His money, no money no money, can make me happy Now it looks a lot clearer outside, 'cause I'm using my eyes I close my eyes and kept on pushin' I just stopped looking and guess who showed up My friend won't let you down He's always been around That's one thing I know for sure Even when I'm wrong, He's right at my door He'll never ignore Yes, I got a lotta things to say, I can't say them in all one day I'll take no credit for the blessings that He's given to me Without Him I know that Saadiq could never, ever, ever be When I thought it couldn't get no better Just when I thought it was almost over Oh, no I close my eyes and kept on pushin' I just stopped looking and guess who showed up I close my eyes and kept on pushin' I just stopped looking and guess who showed up I told myself one day, to fall on my knees and pray I close my eyes and kept on pushin' I just stopped looking and guess who showed up I told myself one day, to fall on my knees and pray I close my eyes and kept on pushin' I just stopped looking and guess who showed up I told myself one day, to fall on my knees and pray I close my eyes and kept on pushin' I just stopped looking and guess who showed up My friend won't let you down He's always been around That's one thing I know for sure
