Some Days - Audra McDonald

Some days worry

Some days glad

Some days more than make you mad

Some days

Some days more than shine

When you see what’s coming

On down the line

Some days, you say

«Oh, not me, never»

Some days, you say

«Bless God forever»

Some days, you say

«Curse God and die»

And the day comes when you wrestle

With that lie

Some days tussle

Then some days groan

And some days

Don’t even leave a bone

Some days you hassle

All alone

I don’t know, sister

What I’m sayin'

Nor do no man

If he don’t be prayin'

I know that love is the only answer

And the tight-rope lover

The only dancer

When the lover come off the rope today

The net which holds him is how we pray

And not to God’s unknown

But to each other

The falling mortal is our brother

Some days leave

Some days grieve

Some days you almost don’t believe

Some days believe you

Some days don’t

Some days believe you

And you won’t

Some days worry

Some days mad

Some days more than make you glad

Some days, some days

More than shine
