Everyday I wake up knowing it's a better day

You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame

I was down for a while, it's so lonely when it rains

I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain

That's why everyday I wake up knowing it's a better day

You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame

I was down for a while

I ain't been down for a while

I had my back against the wall

Nights I was alone

I was going through it all

Didn't let nobody know

Mama said keep your spirits high

Never fall for the bad vibes

People gon' try and bring you down

But you can't let 'em bring you down, oh yeah

Nights like this I wish I had my friend with me

The only person that can understand me

If I could bring him back today

I'd tell him everything he can be

Protect him from negative energy

Everyday I wake up knowing it's a better day

You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame

I was down for a while, it's so lonely when it rains

I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain

That's why everyday I wake up knowing it's a better day

You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame

I was down for a while

I ain't been down for a while

Sometimes I didn't fit in

Because I stood out

They would make me feel bad for

Me just being myself

Mama said you can never fail

Long as you love yourself

They can't lower your vibe

Long as you stay flying high

Nights like this I wish I had my friend with me

The only person that can understand me

If I could bring him back today

I'd tell him everything he can be

Protect him from negative energy

Everyday I wake up knowing it's a better day

You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame

I was down for a while, it's so lonely when it rains

I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain

That's why everyday I wake up knowing it's a better day

You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame

I was down for a while

I ain't been down for a while
