Man, I know it gets hard sometimes,
to be honest this life doesn't seem that fair
at times, but I understand
God who's sovereign, he's got everything
in control, and even though it looks dim,
man, I trust in him, let's get it.
We grew up on the same block,
Malu with my little crew on the blacktop
My big homie from round the way,
Older, so I looked up to him dawg,
The coolest of the cool and almost
But dur ing the last week he got
Solomon for more than just his song
Wish I could turn back the hands of time
For all the people who lost a loved one
and felt like they was gone before their time
I'll encourage us to put our trust in
it all happens for a reason
Keep your eyes to the heels and believe
Al though the sky is black,
He promised us a brighter day
Weeping may endure for a night
I know it's hard to wait patiently
He strengthens you in the wait
when your father's not at home
When your joy turns to pain,
Lord, when life seems too hard
He won't allow you to be moved,
There's so much pain in the city streets,
We're in perilous times which means
So I do this ballad for the beautiful
And for the families who too
Chicago whose daughter was 10
And at her birthday party
I write this song for my neighbors
Who had lives but watched
Plus, I know the pain of a life
And you have the chance to meet him but
you think why even bother
Because you never miss nothing
But that thinking leaves you lonely,
still longing for your dad
Man, if we would only take
Lamentations 3 .32 for the rest
And see the truth that the
Even though he brings calamity,
he gives us compassion like
When your father's not at home
When your joy turns to pain
He won't allow you to be moved
Living a world that when it rains it pours
And when bad things happen to good
Will the poor get poorer and the rich
Where pain is related to action
It's hard for us to understand
Take my cousin last year for example,
when he lost his wife to a drunk driver
Godiva, they said she died on impact
and this dude was the survivor
life brings pain that'll cease over time
An d then it returns but we long
for a consistent peace of mind
Jesus to those who feel burdened
God who allows evil steps in and gets
go and cast your cares on the
Gives us the proof that this
When your joy turns to pain
He won't allow you to be alone
And I know it will sustain you
