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 

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 I'm ready for the night
