We All Carry Something

  • She was born with her mama's eyes
    Her mama's laugh, her mama's smile
    Her mamas taste for sweet red wine
    So at night she grips the bottle tight
    We all carry something

    He was raised in a trailer park
    Where cops don't go after dark
    When his daddy hit, he hit real hard
    Still walks around with those battle scares
    We all carry something

    That makes us who we are
    Standing in the rain
    Or deep within our hearts
    There in lies the pain
    Know you're not alone
    So keep holding on

    He works Chicago's southside
    Totes a badge and a forty-five
    Watches drug dealers and babies die
    Sometimes a man can't help but cry
    We all carry something

    And there's an Army Green Purple Heart
    Went to fight for the stripes and stars
    Brought back to war from land afar
    Still wears that shrapnel in his arm
    We all carry something

    That makes us who we are
    Standing in the rain
    Or deep within our hearts
    Therein lies the pain
    Know you're not alone
    So keep holding on

    We all carry something

    Yeah, keep holding on
    And know you're not alone

    Before he died on the tree
    Before they nailed his hands and feet
    He walked right through those city streets
    Carrying the sins of you and me

    We all carry something Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
