| [00:22.07] |
To the kids who aint got no shoes on their feet, trying to figure out what to eat, |

| [00:36.19] |
this is for kids of Somalia who aint got no moms |
| [00:38.94] |
this is for teens listening to lil wayne |
| [00:41.18] |
cuz CCM aint got the courage to make music for them |
| [00:44.23] |
This is for the outcast, the underprivileged, |
| [00:47.61] |
who cant seem to catch a break and stay diligent, |
| [00:49.75] |
make the most out of the bad that life's given them, |
| [00:52.34] |
choose to survive despite what dad did to them |
| [00:55.48] |
stay vigilant, tho they know that this unjust world doesn't pay fair dividends, |
| [01:00.61] |
child workers getting paid under bare minimum, |
| [01:03.32] |
while the chairman/CEO makes a million |
| [01:06.76] |
And this is for the jobless-homeless, |
| [01:08.40] |
who keep hoping cuz they know this world isn't home,it's |
| [01:12.16] |
just a place we all passin' through, if you're in jail, yeah this song's for you |
| [01:16.59] |
To the single moms holding down a family of five |
| [01:19.32] |

Cause mom and dad are never home |

| [01:39.08] |
This is for those who can't sell their homes |
| [01:41.22] |
Flipped upside down |
| [01:42.61] |
worth half of its loan |
| [01:44.20] |
401k is gone |
| [01:45.31] |
Economy's in a tank |
| [01:46.70] |
So we look to credit cards and banks |
| [01:48.04] |
And feed off of the lie |
| [01:49.35] |
They says if we could just buy |
| [01:51.21] |
Our way out of this mess |
| [01:53.08] |
Then somehow maybe we could get by |
| [01:54.79] |
Advertisers keep it larger than our appetite |
| [01:57.53] |
Starving after what can't satisfy |
| [01:59.52] |
But let me make a suggestion |
| [02:00.94] |
Better yet a profession |
| [02:02.38] |
We put to much stock in our earthly possessions |
| [02:05.21] |
Our problem is way bigger than a recession |
| [02:07.76] |
As a whole, we have lost our souls to our obsessions |
| [02:10.64] |
But it's not too late to get back |
| [02:12.76] |
To the reason we're alive |
| [02:13.97] |
I promise you, I found IT |
| [02:15.24] |
It's the reason I survive |
| [02:16.80] |
That's why I stand tall, I can breath, touch the sky |
| [02:19.44] |
I believe that I will get by |
| [02:22.17] |
To the soldiers on the front lines risking their lives |
| [02:24.82] |
trying to think about how survive, |
| [02:26.83] |
Say "I'll get by"! (2x) |
| [02:32.89] |
To the sons tryin' to hold it down to weather the storm |
| [02:35.66] |
cause daddy is away at war, |
| [02:37.66] |
Say "I'll get by"! (2x) |
| [02:43.74] |
How long, do we keep on falling trying to get by on our own? |
| [02:54.34] |
How long till we lift our eyes to the one who can lead us home? |
| [03:05.68] |
To the billions of people who are mad at God, |
| [03:08.36] |
cause most churches haven't done their job and hurt you badly, |
| [03:11.00] |
yes it's a tragedy, you're looking at a casualty, |
| [03:13.91] |
I've judged instead of love, you have every right to be mad at me |
| [03:16.96] |
But please forgive us as we try to fix this, |
| [03:19.72] |
but this time not because of selfish ambition, |
| [03:22.73] |
this time because of Jesus who lives within us, |
| [03:25.04] |
see, we are not religious we're just redeemed sinners |
| [03:27.87] |
and He offers peace in the midst of affliction |
| [03:30.59] |
and he is deliverance from the deepest addiction, |
| [03:33.29] |
tho He may be hidden from your plain sight vision, |
| [03:36.06] |
just look beneath the surface and you cannot miss him |
| [03:38.78] |
As far as all our problems go I know I cant fix 'em just by |
| [03:41.14] |
singing a song, so much has gone wrong, |
| [03:44.24] |
tho change don't come easy, together we can be strong, |
| [03:46.68] |
I was hoping we can all start by singing a along |
| [03:49.30] |
To the broken people tryin' to make ends meet |
| [03:51.73] |
but can barely stand on their feet, Say "I'll get by"! (2x) |
| [04:00.02] |
To the kids who ain't got no shoes on their feet, |
| [04:02.99] |
trying to figure out what to eat, Say "I'll get by"! (2x) |
