A Little Work
[Verse 1]Got a lot of answers I'm looking for in these meds'Bout time I talk to somebody, shrink my headA lot of promises, broken things that were saidAnd I can't get out of this bedGot bruises on my heart, plenty scars on my mindGot blisters under the band-aid over my lifeGonna rip it open and show the world what's thereLord knows I'm not perfect
[Pre-Chorus]When everything around me starts to fallI rise up again to the call
[Chorus]We're all just a little bit brokenWe're all just a little bit hurtWe've all got wounds half openWe all can use a little workA little work, a little
[Verse 2]Gotta wait first of the month to pick up that checkHe bounced, and left, it was over, never came backHad a lot of questions 'bout daddy after he leftNow it's just momma and them kids, and she said"I'll hold her down, don't you worry, we'll find a wayNo matter how, I'll make sure the bills get paid"She gave it all and thank God their mouths got fedShe prayed the cycle would end
[Pre-Chorus]When everything around us starts to fallWe rise up again to the call
[Chorus]We're all just a little bit brokenWe're all just a little bit hurtWe've all got wounds half openWe all can use a little workA little work, a little
[Bridge]Sometimes when you feel like you need itThey send in the medicBut if it's your soul that is bleedingThat slow drip won't help it, noIt's time to get up to the front of the lineThe guards of the battle and straight for the mindWell, well, well, wellThere's nothing that's holding you downStuck on the ground, far from the crown'Cause you are a warrior more than you know
[Chorus]We're all just a little bit brokenWe're all just a little bit hurtWe've all got wounds half openWe all can use a little workA little work, a littleA little
