[Verse one]
Life's touched with misery
Looking for some sympathy
Hard to see through all the pain
Is there really anything to gain
[Chorus]
There's a time we're reaching out for sympathy
Crushed dreams and broken hearts are our history
But there's no sympathy
[Verse two]
It's a hard life we've been livin'
Yet I thank the Lord for all we're given
Dark nights and all alone
The remnants of this broken home
[Chorus]
Comes a time we're reaching out for sympathy
How we ever got to here is a mystery
But there's no sympathy
[Verse three]
Rain will come, the winds will blow
Don't leave your heart an open door
Get right up and take a stand
And live the life of a righteous man
[Chorus]
Giving up the useless search for sympathy
Put your trust in the Lord and yourself faithfully
Cause there's no sympathy
[Outro]
No sympathy (repeat)
