[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
And you try to put yourself someplace
Someplace you cannot see
You just gotta try and live your life
And take what you receive

[Chorus]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
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
