Karen Clark-Sheard Album: The Heavens Are Telling Track: Sometimes
Sometimes Lyrics
CHORUS: Sometimes heaven seems so far away With all that you're going through everyday From being tempted to resented and you need direction Sometimes heaven seems so far away With all of the money spent that you make But the righteous won't be forsaken You just keep on pressin'
VERSE: I might get personal so protect your toes Cause I feel I need to let my heel down For we do all that we can to Treat our NEIGHBOR right but Sometimes we wanna scream We try to turn the other cheek And stay on our knees and keep our tempers under control, but you know Every now and then you wanna tell somebody what they mean
CHORUS: Sometimes heaven seems so far away With all that you're going through everyday From being tempted to resented and you need direction Sometimes heaven seems so far away With all of the money spent that you make But the righteous won't be forsaken You just keep on pressin'
VERSE: Working that Job so hard from dusk to dawn To keep a decent roof overhead But your debt is evergrowing Even working over time And sometimes you wanna scream But God knows the pain is there and how much we can Bear we didn't come this far to be left alone That's why we gotta be strong for the prayers of the righteous will availeth many things
CHORUS: Sometimes heaven seems so far away With all that you're going through everyday From being tempted to resented and you need direction Sometimes heaven seems so far away With all of the money spent that you make But the righteous won't be forsaken You just keep on pressin'
HOOK: For the trials that we see are here to make us stronger Grab onto his hand and live in fear no longer Like a tree planted by the rivers of water We shall not be moved Stand firm in your service Your eyes will be dried in the morning
CHORUS: Sometimes heaven seems so far away With all that you're going through everyday From being tempted to resented and you need direction Sometimes heaven seems so far away With all of the money spent that you make But the righteous won't be forsaken You just keep on pressin'
