It ain't nothin' but an us thang And it's time for us to step it up and respect (Amen) That level of sisterhood That's been holding up our neighborhood
Dark day program, pen to page Nothing's broken, show our age Feed the flame, tears enrage Wait till mornin', face the day Now we're toiling over Thoughts
Understated, overrated side Carnival ride Curtains fadin', threadbare rugs Real life, the baby stayed up all night How wonderful, Rhinestone, torn black
On Jesus' program I'll wade out in the deep Oh yes, I will On Jesus' program Oh, I cannot sleep On Jesus' program The Holy Spirit will creep I know
Sifting through the ashes of my life I thought I found the one that I could always trust Slowly I began to learn that I can never judge The things that
Hey you, you're way ahead of me You're drunk on apathy, you burned right out Hey you, you're just a cripple now We sell for millions now, they sold you
I entered the room, sat by your bed All through the night I watched your daily fight I hardly knew the pain was almost more than I could bear And still

Won't open my mouth You know what I'll say It hurts me that it's gotta be this way I can no longer hide, God knows I've tried I held on as long as I
So I see it, it's right there in front of me What's the matter, oh, you cannot see Feeling like I did when you blindfolded me So I hear it, for a brief
Pass by, don't dare to stop Pass by, don't dare to stop Got a suitcase in my hand Filled with stuff most precious to me Sidewalk brings my feet wherever
I've flown too high on borrowed wings Beyond the clouds and where the angels sings In a sky containing no one but me Up there's all empty and down there
You better get with the program in your fuckin' head 'Cause the life you see left for dead With the program in your fuckin' head Yeah the life you see
So here we are taking everything as it comes Making plans and making flaws from what you see Numbing thing that will make you dream When nothing around
