Sometimes

Sometimes, sometimes I get discouraged
With the way things ought to be
Instead of how they are
And it makes me feel so small
I can hardly breathe (I can hardly breathe)

Sometimes, sometimes I feel real stupid
With the way my brother thinks
That he's got all the answers
And it means I must be wrong
Even if I agree (Even if I agree)

And sometimes, sometimes I get real angry
With the way my father drinks
And the way my mother acts
And it makes me fear the worst
Is what's in store for me (What's in store for me)

And sometimes, sometimes I lose my faith
In all humanity
When I hear it on the news
And it makes me feel like dying
So I can be free (So I can be free)

Sometimes, sometimes I feel so worthless
With the way I live my life
From one day to the next
Without some sort of plan
To make some sort of progress (Some sort of progress)

But sometimes, sometimes I feel alive
When I spend time in the wild
Or I make all my friends smile
Or I hold you in my arms
It's then I love my life (It's then I love my life)
