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
