lyrics

Worry all up in my mind
Worry got me deaf, dumb and blind
Gotta break through these hard times
To find you gon' get left behind

Pain is all you know
A pain that breaks you down to your soul
Gotta break thru these hard times to show
You still got a long road to go

Break thru is gon' come
Break thru even though your heart weighs a tonne
Gotta break through until these hard times are done
