Take a good look and look what you see,
Day after day and night after week
See people dyin, innocently, it might happen to be one of your family.
Now your stuck in the streets and you cant eat or sleep
And when it seems like your fallin, get back on your feet
Yeah
Gotta pick up the pieces, put your life back together
[chorus]
Send me some loving, take away all my pain
Bring me some fortune, just enough to maintain
I'm lost on a mission, show me the way
I'm stuck in the system, so all i can do is pray
I pray, it'll be okay, it'll be okay, it'll be okay, it'll be okay
But IT AINT OKAY now, I just wanna take a break now,
Don't put me in water I'll drown, I try to stay up but I'm down
Focus on life and what it really means
hold your family and friends and what's your hopes and your dreams
is it worth all the pain, going through all these things
when there's nothing to gain but you hav your whole life to lead
when they say you can't make it you gotta prove them wrong
'cause they always keep hating, thats why I'm singing this song
gotta pick up the pieces, put your life back together
send me some loving, take away all my pain
bring me some fortune, just enough to maintain
i'm lost on a mission, show me the way
i'm stuck in the system, so all i can do is pray
i pray, it'll be okay, it'll be okay, it'll be okay, it'll be okay
but IT AIN'T OKAY now, i just wanna take a break now,
don't put me in water i'll drown, i try to stay up but i'm down
whoa Lord, your hearin me call your name, my mind feels like its insane
and my life's going down the drain
whoa Lord your hearin me call your name, my mind feels like its insane
and my life's going down the drain
[chorus till end]
