Lyrics I'll Get By - B.Reith

To the broken people tryin to make ends meet, But can barely stand on their feet, Say Ill get by.
Ill get by, Ill get by, Ill get by.
To the kids who aint got no shoes on their feet, Tryin to figure out what to eat, Say Ill get by.
Ill get by, Ill get by, Ill get by.
This aint for Becky.
This aint for soccer moms.
This is for kids in SomaliaWho aint got no moms.
This is for teensListenin to Lil Waynecause he seems to have the courageTo make music for them.
And this is for the outcasts, The underprivileged, Who cant seem to catch a breakBut stay diligent, Make the most of the badThat lifes givin them; Choose to surviveDespite what dad did to them; Stay vigilent, Though they knowThat this unjust worldDoesnt pay fair dividends.
Child workers getting paidUnder their minimum, While the chairmen CEOMakes a million.
And this is for the jobless, Homeless, Who keep hopingcasue they know this world isnt home itsJust a place were all passing through.
If youre in jail, Yeah.
This songs for you.
To the single moms holdin downa family of fiveWhile putting in 9 to 5, Say Ill get by.
Ill get by, Ill get by, Ill get by.
To the kids tryin to raise themselves on their ownCause mom and dad are never home, Say Ill get by.
Ill get by, Ill get by, Ill get by.
This is for thoseWho cant sell their homes.
Flipped upside down, Worth half of it's loan.
Full tank is gone, Economys in the tank, So we lookTo credit cards and banks, And feed off of the lieThat says that we can just buyOur way out of this messAnd somehow maybe we can get by.
Advertisers keep enlargeningOur appetite.
Were starving afterWhat cant satisfy.
But let me make a suggestion.
Better get a profession.
We put too much stockIn our earthly possessions.
Our problem is way biggerThan a recession.
As a whole we have lost our soulTo our obesessions, But its not too late to get backTo the reason were alive.
I promise you I found it.
Its the reason I survived, Its why I stand tall, I can breathe, touch the sky.
I believe that I will get by.
To the soldiers on the frontline riskin their lives, Tryin to figure out how to survive, Say Ill get by.
Ill get by, Ill get by, Ill get by.
To the sons tryin to hold down the weight of the storm, Cause daddy is away at war, Say Ill get by.
Ill get by, Ill get by, Ill get by.
How longWill we keep on failing trying to get byOn our own?
How longTill we lift our eyes to the one who canLead us home?
To the billions of people who are mad at God, Cause most churches havent done their job, And hurt you badly.
Yes, its a tragedy.
Youre lookin at a casualty.
Im judged instead of loved.
You have every right to be mad at me.
But please forgive usAs we try to fix this.
But this time, not because ofSelfish ambition; This time because ofJesus, who lives within us.
So we are not religious, Were just redeemed sinners.
And He offers peace in the midstOf affliction, And He is deliverance fromThe deepest addiction.
Though He may be hidden fromYour plain sight vision, Just look beneath the surfaceAnd you cannot miss Him.
As far as all our problems go, I know I cant fix them just bySinging this song.
So much has gone wrong.
Though change dont come easy, Together we can be strong.
I was hoping we could all start by singing along.
To the broken people tryin to make ends meet, But can barely stand on their feet, Say Ill get by.
Ill get by, Ill get by, Ill get by.
To the kids who aint got no shoes on their feet, Tryin to figure out what to eat, Say Ill get by.
Ill get by, Ill get by, Ill get by.
Ill get by.
Ill get by.
Ill get by.
Ill get by.
