Karen Clark-Sheard - Sometimes lyrics

rate me

CHORUS: Sometimes heaven seems so far away

With all that you're going through everyday

From being tempted to resented and you need direction

Sometimes heaven seems so far away

With all of the money spent that you make

But the righteous won't be forsaken

You just keep on pressin'

VERSE: I might get personal so protect your toes

Cause i feel i need to let my heel down

For we do all that we can to

Treat our NEIGHBOR right but

Sometimes we wanna scream

We try to turn the other cheek

And stay on our knees and keep our tempers under control, but you know

Every now and then you wanna tell somebody what they mean

CHORUS: Sometimes heaven seems so far away

With all that you're going through everyday

From being tempted to resented and you need direction

Sometimes heaven seems so far away

With all of the money spent that you make

But the righteous won't be forsaken

You just keep on pressin'

VERSE: Working that Job so hard from dusk to dawn

To keep a decent roof overhead

But your debt is evergrowing

Even working over time

And sometimes you wanna scream

But God knows the pain is there and how much we can

bear we didn't come this far to be left alone

That's why we gotta be strong for the prayers of the righteous will availeth many things

CHORUS: Sometimes heaven seems so far away

With all that you're going through everyday

From being tempted to resented and you need direction

Sometimes heaven seems so far away

With all of the money spent that you make

But the righteous won't be forsaken

You just keep on pressin'

HOOK: For the trials that we see are here to make us stronger

Grab onto his hand and live in fear no longer

Like a tree planted by the rivers of water

We shall not be moved

Stand firm in your service

Your eyes will be dried in the morning

CHORUS: Sometimes heaven seems so far away

With all that you're going through everyday

From being tempted to resented and you need direction

Sometimes heaven seems so far away

With all of the money spent that you make

But the righteous won't be forsaken

You just keep on pressin'
