Sometimes life takes your breath away
Sometimes in the cruelest way
Maybe it will be today
Sometimes life should stay out of my way

Sometimes life throws you a curve
Sometimes life has fucking nerve
Maybe it will make you swerve
Sometimes it’s what you deserve

(Chorus)
Lord, give me strength
In my darkest hour
Lord, give me strength
When I have no power
Lord, give me strength
When I’m at my weakest
Lord, give me strength
When the world looks bleakest


Sometimes life will make you shout
Sometimes life will knock you out
At the end life deals you out
Sometimes life will fill you with doubt

Sometimes life will pick up
Sometimes life has no backup
Maybe it’s all just too corrupt
Sometimes life will drain your cup

(Chorus)
Lord, give me strength
In my darkest hour
Lord, give me strength
When I have no power
Lord, give me strength
When I’m at my weakest
Lord, give me strength
When the world looks bleakest


Sometimes life fills you with fears
Sometimes life will cause you tears
On and on throughout the years
Sometimes life just disappears

But sometimes life can calm the storm
And sometimes life can make you warm
Then life is able to transform
And at its best, life is an art form

(Chorus)
Lord, give me strength
In my darkest hour
Lord, give me strength
When I have no power
Lord, give me strength
When I’m at my weakest
Lord, give me strength
When the world looks bleakest
