Sometimes you're up

And sometimes you're down

Sometimes you laugh

Even when you wanna frown, yeah

But you gotta hold on

And keep your faith

You still gotta make it through another day

And even though times are gonna get hard

I'm standing here to tell you

They ain't gon' always be that way, no

Sometimes, ooh, there's gonna be some things

That's gonna get hard sometimes, ooh

Hey, hey, you may have to cry

You may have to cry sometimes

But things are gonna be alright

Ooh, it's gonna be alright, yeah

Sometimes there's joy

Sometimes there's pain, yes, it is

You think you're the only, only, only one

That's going through anything

Look around at the conditions of the world

Blessings aren't always diamond and pearls

People talking 'bout who and what they love

Sometimes I just can't see what the world is speaking of

I say

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Things get a little hard sometimes, yes, they do

But, uh, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes, sometimes they get a little rough, sometimes

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Look up, keep on looking up

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

You, you gotta hold onto your faith

So you can make it, make it, make it another, 'nother day

And even though times are gonna get hard

It won't be hard always

So I say

Sometimes, oh, oh, oh

Sometimes, sometimes

Oh, they get a little rough

Yes, they do, yes, they do

Sometimes, it's gonna be sometimes

Keep on moving, rough

Keep on standing, sometimes

Hey, alright, alright, alright, alright

Yes, it is

Late in the midnight hour, oh

It's gonna be alright sometimes, yes, it is

Hey, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Sometimes, sometimes
