Intro (low, tired voice) Mmm... Yeah... They see the post... They don't see the trouble... Hook (raspy, soulful) Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Nobody knows my sorrow Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory Hallelujah Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Smile on my face don't mean nothing Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory Hallelujah Verse 1 Folks see me online think everything straight Don't see me counting dollars trying to stretch 'em to the eighth Don't see me sitting quiet staring holes in the floor Trying to figure out why every closed door got another closed door Everybody love the highlight Nobody watch the wait Nobody see the bus stop While you standing in the rain Got dreams held together with a paperclip and tape One side say keep going Other side say too late Still show up though What else I'm supposed to do? Been hearing "next time" so long Sound like déjà vu They say trust the process Cool I been standing in line Just trying to make sure all this trouble wasn't wasting my time Hook (raspy, bigger) Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Nobody knows my sorrow Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory Hallelujah Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Smile on my face don't mean nothing Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory Hallelujah Verse 2 Everybody got opinions when they looking from the seats Different game when you the one trying to make ends meet I've been carrying stuff I don't even talk about Cause every time I open up folks find another route Had people tell me hold on Then let go Tell me keep faith Then disappear though Funny how that work Funny how that go Funny how the loudest people got the least to show Some nights feel like Atlantis Whole city underwater Trying to keep a little fire while the waves getting harder Still got hope though Even if it's running thin Cause every loss I took somehow ain't take me with it Bridge (spoken over organ and guitar) Read it twice... I ain't saying I got it the worst... I'm saying you don't know the whole story... You only saw the chapter... You ain't see the edits... Hook (full choir joins) Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Nobody knows my sorrow Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory Hallelujah Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Smile on my face don't mean nothing Nobody knows the trouble I've seen Glory Hallelujah Verse 3 Forty-five looking back like damn that was a ride Lost some people Lost some money Lost some pieces of my pride Still here though Guess that count for something Every time life swung hard I kept ducking They don't count the almosts They don't count the restarts They don't count the nights you gotta rebuild from spare parts But the field know The field watched The field seen Every seed I planted when nobody believed So if tomorrow pull up Tell it I been awake Got a chair at the table And a little left on my plate Outro (raspy, almost a field holler) Nobody knows... Nobody knows... The trouble I've seen... Glory... Hallelujah... The field talking... And I'm still listening... Mmm... Still listening...
