Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes it's hard to pray
Sometimes it's hard to stay grateful
It's painful
Hurts so bad
[Verse 2]
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Gets hard to keep goin'
We keep holdin'
On to what could have been
[Verse 3]
We'll get by, we'll see the light
In the mornin', it's gonna be alright
The circumstance is in the plan
Even if we don't fully understand
Why the bad things happen to the good people
[Verse 4]
Sometimes it's hard to pray
I know sometimes it's hard to be patient
Ooh, I hate it
Yeah, it hurts so bad
[Verse 5]
Sometimes its hard to believe
So hard to keep goin'
We keep holdin'
On to what could have been
[Verse 6]
We'll get by, we'll see the light
In the mornin' it's gonna be alright
The circumstance is in the plan
Even if we don't fully understand
Why the bad things happen to the good people
[Verse 7]
So much pain, it's still a lesson
Sometimes it rains, it's still a blessing
You never see a silver linin' in the cloud and so you doubt it
You never know how much you truly have until you go without it
[Verse 8]
One day it's gonna turn into another season (Food chain)
You're gonna see that all your tragedy you had was for another reason
It's just a temporary goodbye, so you gotta keep ya head high
The rain is comin' down and it's pourin'
But joy is gonna come inside the mornin'
[Verse 9]
We'll get by, we'll see the light (By, yeah)
IN the mornin' it's gonna be alright (It's gon' be okay, baby)
Circumstance is in the plan (The Lord got ya, and I gotcha)
Even if we don't fully understand why
[Verse 10]
Understand why, understand
Why the bad things happen to the good people
