It was one of those days when she couldn't find
A single ray of sunshine
And there wasn't even
A cloud up in the sky.
After thirteen years at the factory
They said sorry ma'am but we're downsizing
Thats the way life is.
Good luck with the rest of it.
She looked me in the eye and said "This ain't the first time,
I've taken the fall.
But let me tell you girl what's gotten me through
Is keepin' faith through it all."
Cuz there'll be...
[CHORUS]
Dead ends and road blocks
Tough times and hard knocks.
Seems like you're always wonderin' why
You're at the right place at the wrong time.
Wheels movin' but you feel stuck
Like you're life's spinnin' in a big rut
When you're out there running around on a wild goose chase
There's a reason
To keep believin'
God don't make mistakes.
Everybody said you gotta give it up
You can't keep that child its just too tough
At seventeen; you're just a baby.
Well she cried and she prayed and made up her mind
Said this beautiful life that's growing inside
Needs a chance to have a hand in Gods plan.
And everyone told her they'd never get by
Why he just turned sixteen
And made it straight to the top of his class,
The captain of the football team.
Yea there'll be...
[CHORUS]
Oh there'll be...
Dead ends and road blocks
Tough times and hard knocks.
Seems like you're always wonderin' why
You're at the right place at the wrong time.
Wheels movin' but you feel stuck
Like you're life's spinnin' in a big rut
When you're out there running around on a wild goose chase
There's a reason
To keep believin'
Keep believin'
God don't make mistakes.
A single ray of sunshine
And there wasn't even
A cloud up in the sky.
After thirteen years at the factory
They said sorry ma'am but we're downsizing
Thats the way life is.
