It was one of those days
when she couldn't find
a single ray of sunshine
and there wasn't even
a cloud up in the sky
After 13 years at the factory
they said sorry maam but downsizin'
that's the way life is
good luck with the rest of it
she looked me in the eye
and said this ain't the first time
I've taken the fall
but let me tell you girl
what's gotten me through
is keepin' faith through it all
Cause there'll be dead ends and road blocks
tough times and hard knocks
seems like your always wonderin'
why you're at the right place
at the wrong time
wheels movin' but you feel stuck
like your life's spinnin' in a big mud
when you're out there runnin' around
on a wild goose chase
there's a reason to keep believin'
God don't make mistakes
Everybody said you got to give it up
you can't keep that child
It's just too tough at seventeen
you're just a baby
well she cried and she prayed
and made up her mind
said this beautiful life
that's growin' inside needs a chance
to have a hand in God's plan
well everyone told her they'd
never get by
why he just turned sixteen
made it straight to the top of his class
the captain of the football team
yeah.... there'll be dead ends and road blocks
tough times and hard knocks
seems like you're always wonderin'
why your at the right place
at the wrong time
wheels movin' but you feel stuck
like your life's spinnin' in a big mud
when your out there runnin' around
on a wild goose chase
there's a reason to keep belivin'
God don't make mistakes
oh, there'll be dead ends and road blocks
tough times and hard knocks
seems like your always wonderin' why
you're at the right place
at the wrong time
wheels movin' but you feel stuck
like your life's spinnin' in a big mud
when your out there runnin' around
on a wild goose chase
there's a reason to keep belivin'
keep belivin'
God don't make mistakes
yeah, yeah oh, God don't make mistakes
