I Cry (Still I Smile) Lyrics

I look around, no one else seems to lose

And I have to choose

If I'll compare, or run my own race instead

I'm hurting, and I'm bleeding each day it seems

And when everything is going fine

Another pain appears in my life

Though I've made up my mind

To the keep the faith when it's hard

I have my moments where

I cry, I cry, Lord why me

Seems life goes by, with no ease

Because it's hard, so hard

When I try but not get far

And as these trials, pile high, still I smile

If you're wondering

Why the battles come your way

It's 'cause when everything is said and done

He knew that you would stand and be strong

So anybody feeling close to giving in

Soon enough you'll win

And you'll become a pillar

For the weak to learn from

So make up your mind

To the keep the faith when it's hard

You're never alone my friend

I cry, I cry, Lord why me

Seems life goes by, with no ease

And I'm always asking

When I'll catch a break

Trying to progress, go back ten steps

And fall on my face

And if I'm honest, it's not easy

But I prayed

So I ain't gon' worry

But still there are times when I break

I cry, I cry, Lord why me

Seems life goes by, with no ease

Because it's hard, so hard

When I try but not get far

And as these trials, they pile high

Still I will smile
