about

There is always someone else having a worse day!

lyrics

Man walks to the corner, kid in tow
got a sign that reads 3 bedroom must go
Just reduced is my american dream
all my blood sweat and tears are yours for the cheap

And is boy looks up with a tear in his eye
why we got to leave home tonight
Son Ill tell you

Sometimes things dont go your way
Sometimes the system fails you
leaves you out in the rain
Sometimes things dont go your way
remember there is always someone
worse than you today

Boy turns 18 and he is off to war
wanna pay for college make em all safe back home
just 3 days till his second tour would end
gave his life for another soldier and a friend

And mamma if your reading this today
Know I gave my life in a noble way and remember

Sometimes things dont go your way
sometimes good men die and the bad ones get away
Sometimes things dont go your way
remember there is always someone worse than you today

The next time your feeling down in low
always know
theres someone above you and someone surely below

Born in Haiti shes just ten years old
Aids took her mom and dad a long time a go
Raises her siblings the best that she can
Eating clay for hunger pains
drinking dirty water From her hands

And she looks up with hopeless in her eyes
wonders why god gave her this life
its hard to tell her

Sometimes things dont go your way
sometimes good fortune fails you
and your born in the wrong place
Sometimes things dont go your way
remember there is always someone worse than you today
