Some say life is hard
Like Swimming upstream
Or going against the grain
But I say life ain't that hard
'Cause I've seen how
The joy outweighs the pain

So you can sit and whine
About the time you've been having
Oh, but as for me, I choose to be
As happy as I can be

Because I'm alright
Trouble may find me
But it's not gonna keep me down
'Cause I'll hold on tight
To the Father who loves me
He likes having me around
Yeah, He loves me and He cares for me
And so I'm alright.

We go 'round and 'round
Back and forth and almost upside down
To buy who we are
A great big house, nice jeans, and a shiny car
But I'm learning, that this wolrld keeps turning
With or without me
So I'll do my best and leave the rest
To the One wathcing over us
