Momma said it's gonna be alright
But she don't know why I cry at nights
She says sooner or later the Sun's gonna shine
So wipe the tears falling from your eyes

Because we all fall down sometimes
And we could use a helping hand
And when there's no one by our side
It's hard to see it's gonna be alright

Now I've been told it's tough getting old
Handling life all on your own
When you're hitting rock bottom
Thinking it's the end
Just dust it off and get up again

Because we all fall down sometimes
And we could use a helping hand
And when there's no one by our side
It's hard to see it's gonna be alright
But it's darkest right before the light

It's hard to see it's gonna be alright
But it's darkest right before the light
My momma says it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright

Because we all fall down sometimes
And we could use a helping hand
And when there's no one by our side
It's hard to see it's gonna be alright

Because we all fall down sometimes
I wish we'd open up our eyes
And when there's no one by our side
It's hard to see it's gonna be alright
But it's darkest right before the light
And my momma says it's gonna be alright
