Two Strong Arms

Listen to a Sample

you wake up in a funk and you don't know why
you should be laughing with the rising sun
but instead you just cry
and you wonder when it was your hope slipped away
you're praying to god just to help you
make it through the day
when something good lands right in your lap
you start biting your nails saying
"god, i don't deserve that!"

i know you're scared and you're worried
and you're holding too tight
doomsday's coming on saturday night
all is lost! the world's a mess!
all this pissing and moaning
who'd ever guess you got
two strong arms, two strong legs, a mind
and a will, and still you're crying
just let it go, let it go, let it go

guilt's a word by definition "you're to blame"
as if you need permission to stake a claim
you let everybody else tell you what to do
and then you act surprised
when the finger gets pointed at you
hey, you've been given a choice
you've been handed your rightful lot
and it ain't always fair, but honey, it's all you got

i know you're scared and you're worried. . .

i see you looking that gift horse
right smack in the mouth
i bet you're wondering when his teeth
are gonna all drop out
you don't give thanks, you don't have that kind of faith
but you do have two strong arms
and they ain't gonna break

i know you're scared and you're worried. . .
