Ain't it hard to be troubled
When things are goin' all wrong?
And you sit down and you think about
The dear ones that are gone
And you try to put yourself someplace
Someplace you cannot see
You just gotta try and live your life
And take what you receive
There are bright times a-comin'
Through the grey sky up above
Then you lift your head up high
And the sun begins to shine
There are bright times a-comin'
Through the grey sky up above
Then you lift your head up high
And the sun begins to shine
So the next time that you're troubled
Try and lend a helpin' hand
Givin' something to some other one
Will make you more a man
What you give is what you get returned
You can't ask for any more
You realize you've done your best
Who could ask for more?
There are bright times a-comin'
Through that grey sky high up above
Then you lift your head up high
And the sun begins to shine
Now, the sun is shinin' early
You know you're finally on your way
And you realize you made it
You got more to give today
