Bed of Roses (Featuring 4Hero)

Job's gone, rent's too, I don't know what I'm gonna do

Baby's crying, baby's daddy always lying

A childhood flashback, a little kid with a dream

Can this really be? What happened to my dream?

Life ain't always a bed of roses

You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses

You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Single mothers, incarcerated brothers

Loveless, hopeless, working to turn it all around

Government cutbacks, war kills, you can't take it back

Families left wondering, what happened to our dream?

Life ain't always a bed of roses

You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses

You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

It is said that only the strong survive

And remember how good it is to be alive

Well, around me, I see pain and poverty

And it's hard to imagine that thing of being all that I can be

But I visualize and I see the light that shines

Life ain't always a bed of roses

You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses

You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses

You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses

You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses

You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong

Life ain't always a bed of roses

You got to get up, get up, get over it, be strong
