Sometimes I'm a liar,   Sometimes I'm a fake.   Sometimes I'm a hypocrite   Everybody hates.      Sometimes I'm a poet,   Sometimes I'm a preacher   Sometimes I watch life go by   sittin' on the bleachers.      But I've never been left alone   in any problem that I've known   Even though I'm to blame   There were times when things were dark   and I've been known to miss the mark   But someone fixed my aim   Sometimes I'm a man of God   Sometimes I'm alright   Sometimes I lay down,    close my eyes and pray to God      Sometimes I don't feel good   It's hard to start the day   It's hard to climb the obstacles   that sometimes come my way      If I make it, I'm a good man,   Am I a bad man if I fail?   I know I'm never good enough   so I let grace prevail      I'm ready for the night   Right now I'm alright   Right now I'm alright   Sometimes I'm alright   I'm alright   I'm alright   Thank God   Thank God      Sometimes I'm a man of God   Sometimes I'm alright   Sometimes I lay down,    close my eyes and pray to God      Sometimes I'm a man of God   Sometimes I'm alright   Sometimes I lay down,    close my eyes and pray to God   I'm ready for the night.
