Help
Vicki Yohe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes it seems that
Life just isn't fair.
Oh no, no
Sometimes it's like you're
Just too tired to care.

Oh my, my sometimes you
Want to hang your head
And cry. But you are not
Alone, God is right by your
Side. But ya gotta hang on.

For the Lord is your shelter
In the night. He will protect




You by day, keep you from harm
He'll watch over your life.
