Down For A While - Mark Thomas

Every day I wake up knowing it’s a better day\nYou probably won’t believe all of the things I overcame\nI was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains\nI made up in my mind that I don’t wanna feel the pain\nThat’s why every day I wake up knowing it’s a better day\nYou probably won’t believe all of the things I overcame\nI was down for a while\nI ain’t been down for a while\nI had my back against the wall\nNights, I was alone\nI was going through it all\nDidn’t let nobody know\nMama said «Keeps your spirits high\nNever fall for the bad vibes\nPeople gonna try and bring you down\nBut you can’t let 'em bring you down»\nNights like this I wish I had my friend with me\nThe only person that can understand me\nIf I could bring him back today\nI’d tell him everything her can be\nProtect him from negative energy\nEvery day I wake up knowing it’s a better day\nYou probably won’t believe all of the things I overcame\nI was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains\nI made up in my mind that I don’t wanna feel the pain\nThat’s why every day I wake up knowing it’s a better day\nYou probably won’t believe all of the things I overcame\nI was down for a while\nI ain’t been down for a while\nSometimes I didn’t fit in\nBecause I stood out\nThey would make me feel bad for\nMe just being myself\nMama say «You can never fail\nLong as you love yourself\nThey can lower your vibe\nLong as you stay flying high»\nNights like this I wish I had my friend with me\nThe only person that can understand me\nIf I could bring him back today\nI’d tell him everything her can be\nProtect him from negative energy\nEvery day I wake up knowing it’s a better day\nYou probably won’t believe all of the things I overcame\nI was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains\nI made up in my mind that I don’t wanna feel the pain\nThat’s why every day I wake up knowing it’s a better day\nYou probably won’t believe all of the things I overcame\nI was down for a while\nI ain’t been down for a while\nWhat’s up, guys, it’s Mark here\nI know you guys are probably having some bad days\nBut just know life always gets better\nAnd you have to get up, and make it a good day\nAnd smile, and help others\nJust look forward to it, and stay positive\nLove you guys\nEvery day I wake up knowing it’s a better day\nYou probably won’t believe all of the things I overcame\nI was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains\nI made up in my mind that I don’t wanna feel the pain\nThat’s why every day I wake up knowing it’s a better day\nYou probably won’t believe all of the things I overcame\nI was down for a while\nI ain’t been down for a while
