Tell me you don't sleep at night, I know
 
 Because of how things have been
 
 Tell me how you just don't trust your life to someone
 
 Don't trust that love can win
 
 Just as sure as God lives in my heart I'll say
 
 Take heart, it won't say this way
 
  
  If there's one thing you can count on
 
 If there's one thing you can know for sure
 
 If there's one thing you can count on
 
 Things are gonna change
 
 If there's one thing you can count on
 
 Things are gonna change
  
 
 I'm sure it's hard to be where you are now
 
 Won't say I've been there before
 
 But I'll be at your side in silence
 
 Words are wasted before a broken heart
 
 Where I've failed in the past to be there for you
 
 You'll find this truth comin' through
  
 
 If there's one thing you can count on
 
 If there's one thing you can know for sure
 
 If there's one thing you can count on
 
 Things are gonna change, oh yeah
 
 If there's one thing you can count on
 
 Things are gonna change
  
 
 Oh, don't give up,
 
 Well, I've seen some hard things
 
 I never thought that I would ever smile again
 
 Holdin' on when I feel half-hearted
 
 I keep my faith without a way to explain it
  
 
 'Cause I believe it won't always be like this everyday
 
 Hold on, and trust what I say
 
 If there's one thing
 
 If there's one thing
 
 If there's one thing God has promised
 
 Things are gonna change, oh yeah
 
 If there's one thing you can count on
 
 Things are gonna change
 
 Things are gonna change
 
 Ha!
  
 
 Gotta have a little faith
 
 Maybe add a little trust
 
 Add a lot o' love
 
 You see your gonna rise above the things that are so rough
 
 'Cause we have a hope
 
 And we'll be all right
 
 You know things are gonna change, but not overnight
  
 
 (Gotta have a little faith, have a little trust, gotta have a lot o' love)
 
 Yeah, you're gonna rise above the things that are so rough
 
 (Gotta have a little faith, have a little trust, gotta have a lot o' love)
 
 Yeah, you know things are gonna change, but not overnight!
 
 (If you have a little faith, have a little trust,
 
 You are gonna rise above, things are gonna change
 
 If you have a little faith, have a little trust,
 
 You are gonna rise above, things are gonna change)
 
 Oh, things are gonna change, but not overnight
 
 (If you have a little faith, have a little trust,
 
 You are gonna rise above, things are gonna change
 
 If you have a little faith, have a little trust, )
 
 Don't you know? We'll be alright, yeah!
 
 (You are gonna rise above, things are gonna change)
 
 Ah, whoo! We'll be alright!
