Different Times (Album Version) - Raphael Saadiq

Written by：Raphael Saadiq/Tionne Watkins

I been in some hard times

I seen a lot of good times

But everyday I count my blessings this way

'Cause I know that everyday's a different day

My friends can change

But his will never change

And I knew there would be some time

When I would second guess my mind

So I kept on walking kept on striving

Kept on singing and guess who showed up

As I walked down the street one day

I thought I heard a brother say

'Living in bad conditions can

Make you feel like no one'

As long as I that's why I always

Try and do my best to search inside

But I knew there would be a day

When I had to look the other way

So I close my eyes

Close my eyes and kept on pushin'

I just kept looking and

Guess who showed up

I told myself one day to

Falll on my knees and pray

And never listen to noone if

They can't be true to you

No one should spend precious

Time living for material love

His money no money no money

Can make me happy

Now it looks a lot clearer outside

'Cause I'm using my eyes

I close my eyes and

Kept on pushing

I just stopped looking

And guess who showed up

My friend won't let you down

He's always been around

That's one thing I know for sure

Even when I'm wrong

He's right at my door

He'll never ignore

Yes I got a lotta things to say

I can't say them in all one day

I'll take no credit for the blessings

That He's given to me

Without Him I know that Saadiq could never

Ever ever be

When I thought it couldn't get no better

Just when I thought it was almost over

Oh noooo

I close my eyes and kept on pushin'

I just kept looking and guess who showed up

I close my eyes and kept on pushin'

I just kept looking and guess who showed up

I told myself one day to

Falll on my knees and pray

I close my eyes and kept on pushin'

I just kept looking and guess who showed up

I told myself one day to

Falll on my knees and pray

I close my eyes and kept on pushin'

I just kept looking and guess who showed up

I told myself one day to

Falll on my knees and pray

I close my eyes and kept on pushin'

I just kept looking and guess who showed up

My friend won't let you down

He's always been around

That's one thing I know for sure

Even when I'm wrong
