Em7 Am7
Been so many times that I been close to rock bottom,

tryin' to look for answers but nobody's got'em.
Em7 Am7
Like the time my mother looked me in the eye,
D
tryin' not to cry, tellin' me the cancer might cause her to die.
Em7 Am7
How can this be? I thought the God love me.
Em7 Am7
So why would He try to take my mother from me?
Em7
And as I cry myself to sleep at night,
Am7
holding on my pillow tight,
D
he spoke to me and said the everything gonna be all right.
Em7 Am7
So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused.
Em7 Am7
I try to move on and I try to stay strong.
Em7 Am7
So put your hands up if y'all are feelin' me.

And put your hands up for ev'ryone to see.

So put your hands up in unity, in unity.
