Despite It All (Album Version)

Despite It All - Joy Denalane

I wanna be it right right

My life

Ain't it strange

I worked so hard

To bring joy to my life

But then there's days

That something just

Don't feel right inside

But see I'm not complaining

I will reach my aims

I'm just contemplating

See I was told

Anything I put

My mind to I could do

But they made it known

Be careful what you wish for

It might come true

And now I'm far away from home

Got my man and my

Baby boys on the phone

Feeling so alone

Despite it all

I'm in it for the long

Hall

And I'm grateful

Despite it all

Even through the

Pitfalls I stand tall

I stand tall

When it rains it pours

'Cause there were times

When there was nothing

I could call my own

And I couldn't ignore

This pillar to post life

Just can't go on no

More

Had to knock down these doors

And go for what I'm longin for

There was more in store

They say blessed are those

Who struggle just

Do maintain day to day

And when you're feelin low

And nothing seems

It's going your way

How could you know

After these blows

You reap what you sow

The seeds will grow

This bright

I'm in it for the long

Hall

And I'm grateful

Despite it all

Even through the

Pitfalls I stand tall

Suddenly there were changes

I was my soul mate

Through the strangers

It caught me unprepared

When he was sent to me

But I knew right then

And there that we were

Meant to be

And then taht moment

Changed to daily life

I bore 2 sons and

I became his wife

Part of me is still

An artist living out a

Dream

Even though it's getting

Hard wouldn't want to leave

'Cause this is my reality

This is my reality

Despite it all

I'm in it for the long

And I'm so grateful

Despite it all

Even through the

Pitfalls I stand tall

Let me tell you falls

Despite it all

I'm in it for the long

Hall and I'm grateful

Despite it all

Even through the

Pitfalls I stand tall

I was mentally

I was mentally

I what a changed to thing

Was there is my reality

There is my reality
