We The People

I guess I need a little time to heal the pain

A little time to make up for, oh the last 600 days.

It's been a long road, it's been a hard road

We starting thinkin' nothin's ever gonna go our way



We the people

We the people



I never thought the world would ever go the way it did

And now our savings is all gone we'll have to try to save again

Oh the numbers that I figure mean I work a few more years

But that doesn't mean, I haven't got the strength to dry my tears.



We the people, we need a little hope

We the people, maybe redemption

We the people, a little hope

We the people, maybe forgiveness



Oh, give us rest

Give us all the best



My car payment, my house payment, where's my retirement?

Oh, it all went to pay the rent.

I gave my banker my best comment.

I said "I meant, I meant, I meant, I meant to save my money."



We the people, we need a little hope

We the people, maybe redemption

We the people, a little hope

We the people, yeah

We the people, maybe redemption

We the people, yeah



It's not what happens to us, it's just how we respond

That makes us what we are, that makes us what we are.
