[Verse 1]
I thought this would be a forever kind of pain
Oh, and I thought this would hold me down
And I'd never be the same
Oh, and the funny thing is
I've seen so much darkness
And I've been through the darkest of time
But I'm still standing here, yeah
I can see the light

[Chorus]
'Cause mama always told me
Life wasn't easy and sometimes it gets hard to believe
But when you're feeling down
Love will come around
And lift your from the ground again
And you're heart will sing its song again, whoa

[Verse 2]
Oh, and you if you're listening
I'm here to tell you that the same is true
'Cause every little thing that you've been through
Gave your song a different kind of tune
But the crazy thing is you've been through some hardships
And you've been through the hardest of times
But you're still standing here
And you can see the light
