Verse 1
Will it always be this way? Will you feel depressed every day? How much longer can you take it? How much longer will you wonder? Why has life all of a sudden took you down, like it's dragging you out of this town? Watch the sun fade away, and all the clouds are turning gray

Chorus
But somebody cares, when your life seems hopeless Somebody cares, when horrid thoughts go through your head Somebody cares, even when you don't think so There are plenty people around that care what you do, because they really do love you But somebody cares that is even greater, and He is your creator He truly cares

Verse 2
Is the world hurting you so? Where did your smile go? We can see it on the outside, but we know it's there on the inside Why are these bad days eating you away? It's got to be more than what anyone could say What is going on in your head, cause you have never said?

Verse 3
What is going on? The happiness is gone You used to be a different person, but now you are caught up in this diversion Just hold on to God, keep Him near He will help you through your tough years
