I know how it feels
When you can't pay your bills
Enough to have you feeling like giving up
Life lately been going downhill
I know that you can't see the light
But the light is always near, oh
And I know God said
There's no need to have fear
He'll turn your pain into rest
Right in front of your eyes
He'll give all your lost back
Double up the size
It don't matter where you at, it'll be all right
It don't matter where you at, I can testify
He'll fill your tank when you're on E
Hewon't leave you dry
He'll turn your stones into steps
Have you stepping right (Step, step, step)
It don't matter where you at, it'll be all right
But in the meantime know that it's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
Cry
Cause life gets hard sometimes
Sometimes
It's OK to cry
Cry
Your feeling is valid
Sometimes tears the only outlet
Mm
I know it gets real
When you don't know what direction your next meal is coming from
I know the hurt of losing a loved one
Having to accept the fact nothing can be done
If you feel you can't see the light
Know the light is always near (Ooh, there)
Stressing keeping you up late at night
Easier said than done but have no fear
He'll turn your pain into rest
Right in front of your eyes
He'll give all your lost back
Double up the size
It don't matter where you at, it'll be all right
It don't matter where you at, I can testify
He'll fill your tank when you're on E
He won't leave you dry
He'll turn your stones into steps
Have you stepping right (Step, step, step)
It don't matter where you at, it'll be all right
But in the meantime know that it's OK to cry
It's OK to cry
Cry
Cause life gets hard sometimes
Sometimes
It's OK to cry
Cry
Your feeling is valid
Sometimes tearsthe only outlet
So go head and cry
For my girls that need someone by their side
I know someone that's gone treat you right
Just be patient in time you gone have the right guy
And all your worth don't let no one else decide, oh
But in the meantime, it's okay to cry
Go ahead and cry, oh
It's OK to cry
