All of the things we do, sometimes they don't seem right   But don't let it get you down 'cuz it's gonna be alright   Time can beat you down and bring you so much pain   Getting the best of us and taking away those sunny days, yeah      You can't see the light when you're down   You can't see the light when you're down      Remember the ones you love and keep 'em close to you   When those times get tough and they'll be there for you      The world can break your pride and leave you feeling blue   But don't let it waste your time 'cuz we're gonna make it through, yeah   We're gonna make it through, it's up to me and you      You can't see the light when you're down   You need to pick yourself up off the ground   There's a way to turn your life around   But you can't see the light when you're down      Across still waters to the sea of pain   It'll all come together at the end of the day      Everywhere you turn, it seems as though you get burned   And even when you try, it still so hard to get by   Don't ever lose your faith, it gets you through the day      You can't see the light when you're down   You need to pick yourself up off the ground   There's a way to turn your life around   But you can't see the light when you're down      You can't see the light when you're down   You can't see the light when you're down   You need to change your life all around   But you can't see the light when you're down   Oh, you need to see that light
