Relationships (Papa's Song)

Papa used to tell me that
Him and mama weren't born wealthy
He said they had to do all that they could to survive
He said back in those days, every day and night was cold, filled with heartaches
But they stayed together through all the pain and the lies
But no matter what the situation, they prayed to the God above
They knew that all of their pain and sorrow would be washed away

Cause every relationship tells a story
Could you sing along, help me sing my song
Like every cloudy day, can wipe the joy away
Can you sing along, help me sing my song

Didn't know pop's lesson would be evident in my own life story
Dreams deferred, lost love and some heartache
It didn't let up for the walls in my way
Just when I felt like, "I'm giving up"
Remembered ain't what papa woulda done
See, we all go through things sometimes
Gets easier when you realize

Every relationship tells a story
Could you sing along, help me sing my song
Like every cloudy day, can wipe the joy away
Can you sing along, help me sing my song

Keep on, pressing on
Hold on, be strong
Every little thing is gonna be alright
And you gotta keep the faith
Keep pressing, keep pressing on
Everything is gonna be alright

Relationships tell a story
Can you sing along, I know you're feeling this song
Like every cloudy day, might wipe your joy away
Gotta keep moving, keeping holding on and pressing on
