Superchick - Stories (Down To The Bottom) lyrics

We've been down to the bottom

Stories we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom

If you been there put your hands in the air

To let the lost know that someone cares

Cuz we've been down to the bottom

Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom

If you been there put your hands in the air

And let somebody know that the Most High cares

I never knew that it would feel like this

When the two that raised you up call it quit

Nobody told me 'bout the emptiness

When the place you call home is closed for business

I push the pain down, I gotta get by

Always knowin in my heart that it ain't gonna fly

Rock bottom's never felt so near before

And if pain is God's megaphone it's loud and clear

So hold me now father, human love ain't enough

I've failed and been failed by the people I love

But your beautiful arms they surround me

And any other soul who has to sail those seas

Of a broken family

Been so many times that I've been close to rock bottom

Trying to look for answers but nobody's got 'em

Like the time my mother looked me in the eye

Tryin' not to cry, tellin' me the cancer might cause her to die

How can this be, I thought that God loved me?

So why would he try to take my mother from me?

And as I cry myself to sleep at night, holding on my pillow tight

He spoke to me and said that everything gonna be alright

So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused

Try to move on and I try to stay strong

So put your hands up, hey, if ya'll are feelin' me

And put your hands up for everyone to see

So put your hands up, we all a family

So put your hands up, in unity, in unity

I've been there too

When everything falls apart and the best you can do is

Get through each day wonderin' will this never end?

Is it always going to be this way?

And the greatest lie you've ever been told is that

You're the only one to ever walk on this road

And that you'll never see the light of dawn

So we came together to say

Hold on

Cuz we've been there and found our way home

We promise you that you're not on your own

One day this will pass, God will see us all through

God will see us all through

God will see us all pass through
