Life is easy Lavi fasil
when you’re up lè ou sou
on the mountain tèt mòn nan
and you’ve got peace of mind e ou santi w an pè
like you’ve never known pè plis ke jamè
But things change Men bagay chanje
when you’re down Lè w anba
in the valley nan vale a
Don’t lose faith Pa pèdi fwa ou
for you’re never alone Paske ou pa janm sèl

CHORUS KÈ

For the God Paske Bondye
on the mountain sou mòn nan
still God toujou Bondye
in the valley nan vale a
When things go wrong Lè bagay pa mache
He’ll make them right Li va ranje yo
And the God E Bondye
of the good times nan bon tan yo
is still God toujou Bondye
in the bad times nan move tan
The God of day Bondye jounen an
is still God in the night toujou Bondye aswè
The God of the day Bondye jounen an
is still God in the night toujou Bondye aswè

You talk of faith Ou pale de fwa
when you’re up lè ou
on the mountain sou tèt mòn nan
But talk comes so easy Men pawòl sot fasil
When life’s at its best lè lavi vrèman bèl
Now it’s down Kounyeya w
in the valley nan vale a
of trials and temptations eprèv ak tantasyon
That’s when your faith Se lè fwa ou
Is really put to the test ap vrèman pwouve sa
