A Little Work

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, firght for 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
