We All Carry Something

She was born with her momma's eyes
 Her momma's laugh
 Her momma's smile
 Her mommas taste for sweet red wine
 So at night she grips the bottle tight
 We all carry something
 He was raised in a trailer park
 Where cops don't go after dark
 When his daddy hit, he hit real hard
 Still walks around with those battle scares
 We all carry something
 That makes us who we are
 Standing in the rain
 Oh, deep within our hearts
 Therein lies the pain
 Know, you're not alone
 So keep holding on

 Works Chicago's South side
 Totes a badge and a 45
 Watches drug dealers and babies die
 Sometimes a man can't help but cry
 We all carry something
 And there's an Army Green Purple Heart
 Went to fight for the stripes and stars
 Brought back the war from land afar
 Still wears that shrapnel in his arm
 We all carry something
 That makes us who we are
 Standing in the rain
 Oh, deep within our hearts
 Therein lies the pain
 Know, you're not alone
 So keep holding on
 We all carry something

 Yeah, keep holding on
 And know you're not alone

 Before he died on the tree
 Before they nailed his hands and feet
 He walked right through those city streets
 Carrying the sins of you and me
 We all carry something
