Sometimes i'm a liar, sometimes i'm a fake
sometimes i'm a hypocrite that everybody hates
sometimes i'm a poet, sometimes i'm a preacher
sometimes i watch life go by sitting on the bleacher.
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.

oh 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 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

cuz sometimes i'm a man of god
sometimes i'm alright
sometimes i lay down close my eyes
and pray to god

cuz 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.
