And if You wanna help me get up off the floor

(Vamp One)

(Vamp Two)(repeat 3x)

My Mama Gave Me Up When I Was Four Years Old
She Didn’t Destroy My Body But She Killed My Soul
Now It’s Cold ‘cause I’m Sleeping In My Back Seat
Understand The Spirit’s Willing But My Flesh Is Weak
Let Me Speak, I Never Had A Chance To Dream
Ten Years Old Finding Love In Dirty Magazines
Ms. December You Remember I Bought You Twice
Now I’m Thirty Plus And Still Paying The Price
Had A Sister That I Barely Knew
Kind Of Got Separated By The Age Of Two
Same Mama Different Daddy So We Couldn’t Fake It
I Saw My Sister’s Daddy Beat Her In The Tub Naked
Take It Serious The Demons In The Man’s Mind
The Same Daddy With Rape Charges Now He’s Doing Time
Crack Followed And Like Daddy Prison Thirteen Years
Haven’t Her But She’s Traded Tears For Fears

[chorus]
Shout. Shout
Let It All Out
These Are The Things I Can Do Without
So Come On
I’m Talking To You
So Come On

Sex Was How I Made It Through
Without Someone To Teach You Love What Else Is There To Do?
So Where I’m From They Call You Gay And Say You Ain’t A Man
Show Them You Ain’t No Punk
Get All The Girls You Can
A Simple Plan That Still Haunts Me Even Now Today
Back To Seventeen And Got A Baby On The Way
No G.e.d. All I See Is Failure In My Eyes
If You Listening Then Remember I Apologize
I Was Raised Falling In The Church
Made Mistakes Heard The Lord’s Calling In The Church
After Service On The Parking Lot Getting High
Wanted To Be Excepted So Bad I Was Willing To Die
Even Tried To Tell The Pastor But He Couldn’t See
Years Of Low Self Esteem And Insecurities
Church Taught Me How To Shout And How To Speak In Tongues
But Preacher Teach Me How To Live Now When The Tongue Is Done, Help Me

[chorus]

See I’m. See I’m
Soul Surviver. Soul Surviver
World Surviver
I Just Wanna Let It Go
World Surviver, Soul Surviver
Just Wanna Let It Go

Jesus Please On My Knees Can’t You Hear My Crying
You Said To Put It In Your Hands And Lord I’m Really Trying
You Wasn’t Lying When You Said You’d Reap What You Sow
Like That Night Mama Died
Hard To Let It Go
You Adopted Me
Cared For Me
And Changed My Name
But I Cursed At You
Lied To You
Left Your Pain
It’s Not Strange I Can Still See It In My Head
To Know For Hours You Were Laying In That Bed
If You Listening To This Record,
If It’s Day Our Night
If Your Mama Still Living Treat Your Mama Right
Don’t Be Like Me And Let That Moment Slip Away
And Be Careful Cause You Can’t Take Back What You Say
To My Real Mama If You Listening I’m Letting It Go
To My Father I Forgive You ‘cause You Didn’t Know
The Pain Was Preparation For My Destiny
And One More Thing Lord Let My Son Be A Better Man Than Me

[chorus 2x]

Chorus 1:
Walking in the light,
beautiful light;
ain’t it wonderful how the light shines?

Chorus
Please dry your eyes youg girl, don’t cry you’re beautiful
It’s not your fault young girl, don’t cry you’re beautiful
You’re not the one to blame
Soon it will be okay, One day you’ll realize your beauty

It was a Saturday this cold afternoon
Inside this house there lived a frightened young girl
She didn’t know what she should do, Cuz she missed her mother so
She was left home all alone with her step-father

Chorus

He touched her places that he shouldn’t have touched
He did some things to her that he shouldn’t have done
Then she ran into her room, paged her mother 9-1-1,
And the tragedy began for this young girl
She told her mother, her fam’ly, and friends
No one believed her cuz before this happened,
She was filled with hate and anger, Towards her step-father,
Cuz he took her mother from her when they married

Chorus

Bridge
She looked for her father in the men that she saw in,
Thought that all she had to offer was her body,
No one could figure out why this young girl would live her life,
In such pain and unhappiness cuz she was so beautiful
She rebelled and one day the young fell in love with another man like her
step-dad
He abused her emotionally and made her feel like she was worthless
I hope one day she realizes, And sees the beauty in her eyes,
All she needs is prayer and strength cuz she’s beautiful

Chorus 2x

Don’t hold your head down low
You’ve got so much, so much, so much, so much, so much to be proud of
You can still live your life
I promise you, you’ll survive
Girl I love you, you’re beautiful

I’ve got a right to be wrong
My mistakes will make me strong
I’m stepping out into the great unknown
I’m feeling wings though I’ve never flown
I’ve got a mind of my own
I’m flesh and blood to the bone
I’m not made of stone
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

I’ve got a right to be wrong
I’ve been held down too long
I’ve got to break free
So I can finally breathe
I’ve got a right to be wrong
Got to sing my own song
I might be singing out of key
But it sure feels good to me
Got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

You’re entitled to your opinion
But it’s really my decision
I can’t turn back I’m on a mission
If you care don’t you dare blur my vision
Let me be all that I can be
Don’t smother me with negativity
Whatever’s out there waiting for me
I’m going to faced it willingly

I’ve got a right to be wrong
My mistakes will make me strong
I’m stepping out into the great unknown
I’m feeling wings though I’ve never flown
I’ve got a mind of my own
Flesh and blood to the bone
See, I’m not made of stone
I’ve got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

I’ve got a right to be wrong
I’ve been held down to long
I’ve got to break free
So I can finally breathe
I’ve got a right to be wrong
Got to sing my own song
I might be singing out of key
But it sure feels good to me
I’ve got a right to be wrong
So just leave me alone

Head under water,
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while.
The breathing gets harder, even I know that.

You made room for me but it’s too soon to see,
If I’m happy in your hands.
I’m unusually hard to hold on to.

Blank stares at blank pages.
No easy way to say this.
You mean well, but you make this hard on me.

I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you asked for it,
‘Cause you need one, you see.
I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you tell me it’s,
Make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I’m not gonna write you to stay.
If all you have is leaving,
I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today.
Today.

I learned the hard way,
That they all say things you want to hear.
My heavy heart sinks deep down under you,
And your twisted words, your help just hurts.
You are not what I thought you were.
Hello to high and dry.

Convinced me to please you.
Made me think that I need this too.
I’m trying to let you hear me as I am.

I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you asked for it,
‘Cause you need one, you see.
I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you tell me it’s,
Make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I’m not gonna write you to stay.
If all you have is leaving,
I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today.

Promise me you’ll leave the light on,
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone.
‘Cause I believe there’s a way you can love me because I say,

I won’t write you a love song,
‘Cause you asked for it,
‘Cause you need one, you see.
I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you tell me it’s,
Make or breaking this.
Is that why you wanted a love song,
‘Cause you asked for it,
‘Cause you need one, you see.
I’m not gonna write you a love song,
‘Cause you tell me it’s,
Make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I’m not gonna write you to stay.
If your heart is nowhere in it,
I don’t want it for a minute.
Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that there’s a reason to,
Write you a love song today.
Today.
