Get Some Get Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Lord, I been talkin’ in the dark Hands still clean, but my heart got scars Same mouth say “peace” and mean it hard Same back been bent from the weight I’ve charged You made me soft for the ones I love Made me firm when the push come rough I don’t crave blood, I don’t want that dust But I know that line when the line get touched I seen fake saints with a wicked grin Seen good men fold when the night come in If you made my bones for the fight within Then guide my steps where the light don’t dim [Pre-Chorus] So tell me, Father, where’s the end? When does mercy start to bend? I keep still, but I don’t pretend Some storms don’t settle, they just amend [Chorus] When do we get to get some get back? (get some get back) When do we get to get some get back? (get some get back) We love peace, but we know pain Built for the fire, still pray for rain When do we get to get some get back? (get some get back) [Verse 2] I got brothers with the same wound Same cold stare, same heavy mood One life taught us how to move One prayer taught us what we don’t do So I walk slow with a loaded soul Not a finger twitch, not a self-made hole I was molded in the pressure fold Where the meek get tested and the truth gets told If you send me out where the shadows creep I’ll bring my name and the vow I keep I won’t break peace for a cheap defeat But I won’t turn back from the edge I meet [Pre-Chorus] So tell me, Father, where’s the end? When does mercy start to bend? I keep still, but I don’t pretend Some storms don’t settle, they just amend [Chorus] When do we get to get some get back? (get some get back) When do we get to get some get back? (get some get back) We love peace, but we know pain Built for the fire, still pray for rain When do we get to get some get back? (get some get back) [Bridge] If I step in the night, let it mean something If I raise up my voice, let it heal something I can carry the weight, I can bear that But Lord, tell me true—when do we get back? [Chorus] When do we get to get some get back? (get some get back) When do we get to get some get back? (get some get back) We love peace, but we know pain Built for the fire, still pray for rain When do we get to get some get back? (get some get back)
