Recovery

took a loan from your knuckle bone

blood in the light of day

but if i’m going down

you’re going down with me

five years old, i was told

you use your fists to pray

caught up in a country that demands violence from me

well, i can see the future

stitches and sutures

but i’ll set my mind loose

let me show you how we do when

we bring down heaven

heaven

i was born a lover

you’re never gonna make me hate you

i was raised to recover, recover

Grams had hope

Mama had hope

and they handed it down to me

so i believe

in recovery

you better know what’s in our bones

what’s deep in our dna

‘cause if i’m getting free

you’re getting free with me

well I can see the future

stitches and sutures

but you know, I can set my own mind loose

ain’t gotta prove that

we look like heaven

heaven

i was born a lover

you’re never gonna make me hate you

i was raised to recover, recover

Grams had hope

Mama had hope

and they handed it down to me

so i believe

in recovery

i can see the future

there’s enough love for you and me

i can see the future

there’s enough dignity

i was born a lover

you’re never gonna make me hate you

i was raised to recover, recover

Grams had hope

Mama had hope

and they handed it down to me

so i believe

in recovery

i been places

i seen things and

i believe

in the kingdom coming
