You may wonder why Your life is filled with hardships And you feel like you've been forsaken Lift your eyes up and smile And make friends with your trial For it's there to draw you closer to God I've been there, I've been there Don't get discouraged; I've been there I've been there, I've been there I understand because I've been there There are many today Feeling the same you did before Thinking no one really cares No one understands Make their sadness yours And share your love with them Then they can say too I've been there
