A Little Work
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Got a lot of answers I'm looking for in these meds
'Bout time I talk to somebody, shrink my head
A lot of promises, broken things that were said
And I can't get out of this bed
Got bruises on my heart, plenty scars on my mind
Got blisters under the band-aid over my life
Gonna rip it open and show the world what's there
Lord knows I'm not perfect
When everything around me starts to fall
I rise up again to the call
We're all just a little bit broken (yeah)
We're all just a little bit hurt (yeah)
We've all got wounds half open (yeah)
We all can use a little work
A little work, a little
Gotta wait, first of the month to pick up that check
He bounced, and left, it was over, never came back
Had a lot of questions 'bout daddy after he left
Now it's just momma and them kids, and she said
I'll hold her down, don't you worry, we'll find a way
No matter how, I'll make sure the bills get paid
She gave it all and thank God their mouths got fed
She prayed the cycle would end
When everything around us starts to fall
We rise up again to the call
We're all just a little bit broken (yeah)
We're all just a little bit hurt (yeah)
We've all got wounds half open (yeah)
We all can use a little work
A little work, a little
Sometimes when you feel like you need it
They send in the medic, woah
But if it's your soul that is bleeding
That slow drip won't help it, no
It's time to get up to the front of the line
The guards of the battle and straight for the mind
Well, well, well, well
There's nothing that's holding you down
Stuck on the ground, far from the crown
'Cause you are a warrior more than you know
We're all just a little bit broken (yeah)
We're all just a little bit hurt (yeah)
We've all got wounds half open (yeah)
We all can use a little work
A little work, a little (a little, a little)
A little
