Despite It All Lyrics

Verse 1

Ain't it strange,
I worked so hard to bring joy to my life,
But then there's days,
That something just don't feel right,
Inside,
But see I'm not complaining,
I will reach my aims,
I'm just contemplating,

See I was told,
Anything I put my mind to,
I could do,
But they made I known
Be careful what you wish for,
It might come true,
And now I'm far from home,
Got my man and my baby boys on the phone,
Feeling so alone,

Chorus

Despite it all,
I'm in it for the long hall and I'm greatful,
Despite it all,
Even through the pitfalls I stand tall,

Verse 2

When it rains it pours,
Cause there were times,
When there was nothing I could call my own,
And I couldn't ignore,
This pillar-to-post-life just can't go on,
No more,
Had to knock down these doors,
And go for what I'm longing for,
There was nore in store,
They say blessed are those,
Who struggle just to maintain,
Day to day,
And when You're feelin low,
And nothing seems It's going Your way,
How could You know, after these blows,
You reap what You sow,
The seeds will grow

Chorus

Despite it all,
I'm it for the long hall and I'm greatful,
Despite it all,
Even through the pitfalls I stand tall,

Bridge

Suddenly there were changes,
I saw my soul mate through the strangers,
It caught me unprepared when he was sent to me,
But I knew right then and there that we were meant to be,
And then that moment changed to daily life,
I bore 2 songs and I became his wife,
Part of me is still an artist living out a dream,
Even through It's getting hard I wouldn't want to leave,
Cause this is my reality, this is my reality

Chorus (3x)

Despite it all,
I'm in It for the long hall and I'm greatful,
Despite it all,
Even through the pitfalls I stand tall
