[00:11.59]To the broken people tryin to make ends meet but can barely stand on their feet,
[00:16.10]Say "I'll get by"! (2x)
[00:22.07]To the kids who aint got no shoes on their feet, trying to figure out what to eat,
[00:26.83]Say "I'll get by"! (2x)
[00:33.25]This aint for Becky, this aint for soccer moms,
[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]While puttin' in 95
[01:21.63]Say "I'll get by"! (2x)
[01:27.48]To the kids tryin' to raise themselves on their own
[01:30.23]Cause mom and dad are never home
[01:32.22]Say "I'll get by"! (2x)
[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)
