LYRICS:
'Sometimes'
© 2011, 2013 Craig Hallen

VERSE 1:
There's a time to dream
A time to live
When all hope is lost
There's a time to forgive
There's a time to rise
A time to fall
When a man is in love
He doesn't worry about growing old

PRE-CHORUS:
The years will pass and times will change
But some things happen all over again

CHORUS:
Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry
Sometimes you quit, sometimes you try
Sometimes you love, sometimes you lie
Sometimes you live, sometimes you die

VERSE 2:
There's a time to run
Time to face the truth
When you've left behind
The innocence of youth
There's a time to hold on
A time to let go
A willingness to move forward
From the life that you know

PRE-CHORUS:
It doesn't have to be about money
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose

CHORUS:
Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry
Sometimes you quit, sometimes you try
Sometimes you love, sometimes you lie
Sometimes you live, sometimes you die

(Solo)

CHORUS:
Sometimes you laugh, sometimes you cry
Sometimes you quit, sometimes you try
Sometimes you fall, sometimes you fly
Sometimes you're low, sometimes you're high
Sometimes you love, sometimes you lie
Sometimes you live, and sometimes you die
