Ain´t it strange,
I worked so hard to bring joy to my life,
but then there´s days,
that something just don´t feel right,
inside,
but see I´m not complaining,
I will reach my aims,
I´m just contemplating,
see I was told,
anything I put my mind to,
I could do,
but they made I known
be careful what you wish for,
it might come true,
and now I´m far from home,
got my man and my baby boys on the phone,
feeling so alone,
Chorus
Despite it all,
I`m in it for the long hall and I´m greatful,
Despite it all,
even through the pitfalls I stand tall,
when it rains it pours,
cause there were times,
when there was nothing I could call my own,
and I couldn`t ignore,
this pillar-to-post-life just can`t go on,
no more,
had to knock down these doors,
and go for what I`m longing for,
there was nore in store,
they say blessed are those,
who struggle just to maintain,
day to day,
and when You`re feelin low,
and nothing seems It´s going Your way,
How could You know, after these blows,
You reap what You sow,
the seeds will grow
Chorus
Despite it all,
I´m it for the long hall and I´m greatful,
Despite it all,
even through the pitfalls I stand tall,
Bridge
Suddenly there were changes,
I saw my soul mate through the strangers,
it caught me unprepared when he was sent to me,
but I knew right then and there that we were meant to be,
and then that moment changed to daily life,
I bore 2 songs and I became his wife,
part of me is still an artist living out a dream,
even through It`s getting hard I wouldn´t want to leave,
cause this is my reality, this is my reality
Chorus (3x)
Despite it all,
I´m in It for the long hall and I´m greatful,
