When the Sun won't shine and the words don't rhyme
And there's mountains you can't move
Something's on your mind
And it's been some time
Since you felt like you were you
When it all caves in, feeling paper thin
And the pain might cut right through
Whenever you don't know what to do
Oh, child, lift up your head
Oh, child, lift up your head
All these troubles only gonna last for a while
Yeah, we're gonna be alright, oh, child, lift up your head
And the light's gonna find you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
When you feeling like you ain't got a friend, ay-ay-ay (mm-mm-mm)
And you wondrin' if you ever gon' smile again
Every little things gonna be okay
I know that you gon' see better days (oh-oh-oh)
So whenever you don't know (mm-mm-mm), how to get through
Oh, child, lift up your head
Oh, child, lift up your head, yeah
All these troubles only gonna last for a while
Yeah, we're gonna be alright, oh, child, lift up your head
And the light's gonna find you
Find you, yeah
