Dear Lord, I come to You a humble man
Asking Your forgiveness for all my sins that I've committed throughout my life
And Lord, I ask of You one more thing
Have mercy on my enemies, for they not know what they do
As we proceed, Chapter II

I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can't stop living this life
I know it gets harder everyday
But I know we can't stop living this way

Some days I would say there's got to be a better way
See, I don't know if I want to live my life like this for each and every day
But now I found that I've got to say
Even though it gets hard, I came this far
And I can't live my life no other way

I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can't stop living this life
I know it gets harder everyday
But I know we can't stop living this way

I tried to figure out if there's another path for me
'Cause all these ups and downs and ins and outs be kind of stressing me
But I could never see myself living like nothing else
It's hard to tell, but I know this life too well

Sometimes people just don't know
What they are and what to follow
Even when it don't seem right
Get on by and live your life

I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can't stop living this life
I know it gets harder everyday
But I know we can't stop living this way

Oooooh, oooooh
Oooooh, oooooh

I know it gets hard for us sometimes
And I know we can't stop living this life
I know it gets harder everyday
But I know we can't stop living this way
(2x)

Yeah, for all my peoples living that everyday life
Sometimes you gon' have ups, sometimes you gon' have downs
Fight through that y'all, keep pushin' it, don't ever stop pushin, don't ever stop believing
Take the good with the bad
You know, it's gon' be alright
