I been in some hard times, I seen a lot of good times
But everyday I count my blessings this way 'cause I know that everyday's a different day. My friends can change but *H*is will never change.
And I knew there would be some time, when I would second guess my mind.

So I kept on walking, kept on striving,
Kept on singing and guess who showed up.

As I walked down the street one day, I thought I heard a brother say
'Living in bad conditions can make you feel like no one*is on your side,* that's why I always try and do my best to search inside.
But I knew there would be a day, when I had to look the other way.

So I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just kept looking and guess who showed up.

I told myself one day to fall *to* my knees and pray
And never listen to no one if they can't be true to you
No one should spend precious time living for material *things*
His money, no money no money, can make me happy.
Now it looks a lot clearer outside, 'cause I'm using my eyes.

I close my eyes and... Kept on pushing,
I just stopped looking and guess who showed up.


My friend won't let you down, He's always been around.
That's one thing I know for sure. Even when I'm wrong, *H*e's right at my door.
He'll never ignore.

Yes, I got a lotta things to say, I can't say them in all one day.
*But* I'll take no credit for the blessings that He's given to me
Without Him I know that Saadiq could never, ever, ever be. *See check it out y'all*
When I thought it couldn't get no better, just when I thought it was almost over. Oh noooo                                                             
I close my eyes and kept on pushin'
I just *stopped* looking and guess who showed up.

My friend won't let you down, He's always been around. That's one thing I know for sure. Even when I'm wrong, He's right at my door. (repeat 11 x's)
