Every day I wake up knowing it's a better day You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame I was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain That's why every day I wake up knowing it's a better day You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame I was down for a while I ain't been down for a while I had my back against the wall Nights, I was alone I was going through it all Didn't let nobody know Mama said "Keeps your spirits high Never fall for the bad vibes People gonna try and bring you down But you can't let 'em bring you down" Nights like this I wish I had my friend with me The only person that can understand me If I could bring him back today I'd tell him everything her can be Protect him from negative energy Every day I wake up knowing it's a better day You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame I was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain That's why every day I wake up knowing it's a better day You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame I was down for a while I ain't been down for a while Sometimes I didn't fit in Because I stood out They would make me feel bad for Me just being myself Mama say "You can never fail Long as you love yourself They can lower your vibe Long as you stay flying high" Nights like this I wish I had my friend with me The only person that can understand me If I could bring him back today I'd tell him everything her can be Protect him from negative energy Every day I wake up knowing it's a better day You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame I was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain That's why every day I wake up knowing it's a better day You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame I was down for a while I ain't been down for a while What's up, guys, it's Mark here I know you guys are probably having some bad days But just know life always gets better And you have to get up, and make it a good day And smile, and help others Just look forward to it, and stay positive Love you guys Every day I wake up knowing it's a better day You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame I was down for a while, was so lonely when it rains I made up in my mind that I don't wanna feel the pain That's why every day I wake up knowing it's a better day You probably won't believe all of the things I overcame I was down for a while I ain't been down for a while
