The sun shines and leaves blow
And my hope like autumn is turning brown
And I know it seems like I'm always falling down

But it does not matter to me
Although it seems like it should
It's because I know I'm understood when I hear Him say
Rest in me little david
And dry all your tears
You can lay down your armor
And have no fear
'cause I'm always here
When you're tired of running
And I'm all the strength that you need

It's up hill both ways
Tomorrow I swear I won't act this way
I know it seems like that is what I always say

You know I want to be like Jesus
But it seems so very far away
When will I learn to obey
