Cm                     A#
Sometimes you are the lonely one
Cm                       G
Sometimes your heart is so tired
Cm                     A#
Sometimes the people abandon you
      Cm         A#           D#            F
It's hard to be here when the people don't care
          G
Like they used to care

Sometimes you feel a wall of hate
Like smoke it clings to your soul
Don't look, don't look, don't look in
the crystal ball
If you look when you're scared
Then you're sure to find something to be scared of

Sometimes conditions are crowding you out
You've got no strength to compete
Be calm, be calm, go to your secret place
Find some hope in the morning, some life in the void
Hope in the morning, some life in the void
Hope in the morning, some life in the voices
you hear

Sometimes (Sometimes) you catch a stranger's eye
Sometimes you give them your love
Your seed, your seed is falling on rocky ground
Love the ones in your life even though it is hard
Love the ones in your life even though it is hard
Love the ones in your life even though it is hard
They are there for you
