We tried everything
We did everything
But couldn't bring it into the light
We spent so much time
Tryin' to turn it around
But we couldn't ever seem to get it right
Now from this broken place
It's time to face
There's only one thing left to do
Saw an old man singin'
Alone in the night
Streets hadn't treated him right
I saw a light in him
Had to stop and listen
He, son let me tell you this:
I ain't got a lot o' money
But I got a lot o' soul
And I've got something to say
When dread overcomes you
And you want to give up
It's time to keep pushing through
When life beats you down
And you get turned around
Remember what this old man said
We can start over, over again
I'm starting over, over again
Yeah, starting over, over again
I'll start over, over again
I ain't got a lot o' money
But I got a lot o' soul
And ain't afraid to take a chance
I ain't got a lot o' money
But I got a lot o' soul
And gonna get up and dance
I ain't got a lot o' money
But I got a lot o' soul
Get up and dance
I ain't got a lot o' money
But I got a lot o' soul
Ain't afraid to take a chance
Stronger in the broken places
I'm gonna get up and take another chance
Been talkin bout it
Been dreamin bout it
Now its time to get up and dance
Yeah, I'm broken down
At the end of my hope
But I'm still holdin on to the rope
And from this darkest place
From this empty space
I remember what the old man said
You can start over, over again
I'm starting over, over again
Yeah starting over, over again
I'll start over, over again
(over and over)
