Peace By Piece

(albüm: Come Around - 2021)

A little bit broken, a little bit bruised, mmh
A little bit beat up, a little bit used
But I'm wiping the blood off, I'm healing my wounds
'Cause momma didn't raise no quitter so I'm not gonna lose

'Cause I know that you have got more fight
Left within you

I'm building my peace by piece
Every scar is lesson one
I'm changing the inner me
Learning to love again, live, and breathe
I'm doing it peace by piece
I'm doing it peace by piece, yeah

If Peter Pan would never pick those peppers then I'd be
A little black boy always running from the oldest
They were picking on me 'cause my fingers looked shiny
Carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders
I couldn't catch a break, felt like giving up
But I had a little luck when I thought that my luck was running out
So just when you think your life will end
You can always start again

I know that you have got more fight
Left within you (I know you got it)
(I know you got more fight in you)

I'm building my peace by piece
Every scar is lesson one
I'm changing the inner me
Learning to love again, live, and breathe
I'm doing it peace by piece
I'm doing it peace by piece

Peace is only achievable to those of us who seek it, cultivate it
And understand that self-love is the best kind of love you can give
It's not an easy thing to do, nor is it a linear path
But the end result makes it all worthwhile
I promise we'll get there one day

I'm building my peace by piece
Every scar is lesson one
I'm changing the inner me
Learning to love myself, live, and breathe
I'm doing it peace by piece
I'm doing it peace by piece, yeah
