Sometimes

Let me tell you about my day

It's such a very long day

It started around seven

And I can hear her pray

That's why I loved Sunday mornings

Even when it was cold

There was always something burning

That was good for my soul

As I walk through the yard

I could feel your presence

Giving me the time of my life

And showering me with life's lessons

Now I know what they mean

When they said, "Keep your head to sky"

"And don't be too quick to fit in"

"And don't feel you have to try"

This world is strange, so strange it is

You know it really hurts inside yeah, sometimes

(Sometimes)

No matter how good you are to people you know

They'll make you cry sometimes

(Sometimes)

I'm so proud people see

The young man I came to be

With lifelong struggles

You kept a smile on my face

And as I'm looking all around me

I say, "How can I ever repay you?"

Mama was worth more than gold

And she always tried to tell me

This world is strange, so strange, so strange my dear

You know it really hurts inside, yeah

(Sometimes)

And no matter how good you are to people you know

They'll make you cry sometimes, yeah

(Sometimes)

There's been a few days

When people truly let me down

(Uh-huh-huh)

And said crucial things just to bring me down

And they will rob, beg and cheat

Just for their own self-motives and greed

But I guess it ain't nothing new

Just something I gotta go through

This world is strange, so strange it is

You know it makes me hurt sometimes, yeah, sometimes

(Sometimes)

No matter how good you are to people you know

They'll make you cry sometimes, yeah, sometimes

(Sometimes)

Now how much more can I take before I shoot to kill?

(But you always said)

Don't let them mess with your heart

'Cause what you're feelin' is very real, yeah, yeah

You know it makes me cry sometimes, baby

(Sometimes)

Yes, it does

Out of all the days and all the stories you taught me about

You know it still hurts inside yeah, sometimes

(Sometimes)

I go through life with my hands in the air

Saying, "Oh Lord, help me there"

Oh, it hurts sometimes baby, sometimes

(Sometimes)

Nobody can tell me better than you

About these things I will go through

Oh, it hurt sometimes baby, sometimes

(Sometimes)

And I say oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, sometimes
