[Verse 1]
I can see you‘re standing on the edge
Your legs step on the ledge of life’s afflictions
I know you’re a master of disguise, you are
Underneath that soft and gentle smile you put on this morning
You give when you have little left to give
You ballroom dance with hollow “How are you’s?” (How are you, how are you?)
Your body aches from marching up your mountains
But you always keep pushing on (Ooh)
You always keep pushing on (You always keep pushing on)
I know life can be a b!tch, some call her “Monday”
And I’m thinking of you, dear, I hope you’re okay, yeah
Maybe there’s a hole you’re hiding somewhere
And you hide it so well, you do, I must say

[Chorus]
But I, I know you’re hurting (Ah-ah-ah)
And deep down there something‘s burning (Ah-ah-ah, deep down there something’s burning)
If you need two more arms to hold these burdens, I am here (Ah-ah-ah)
I said a prayer for you, I hope it’s working (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Please, my dear, don’t stop believing in miracles, ooh

[Verse 2]
You always find some kind words for a stranger
I wish that you could find some for yourself, ah-ah
You claw yourself apart in private moments
And over bruises you put plasters on
Where life has dealt another losing hand (Ah)
You bite your tongue and tense your thighs to stand (Ah)
You know that you can’t be so strong alone all the time
So please stop trying to be so strong all alone, all alone
You don’t have to do this all alone
Even though I know

[Chorus]
Oh, I, I know you’re hurting, I know
That deep down there something’s burning, I know

If you need two more arms to hold these burdens, I am here (Ah-ah-ah)
I said a prayer for you, I hope it’s working
Please, my dear, don’t stop believing in miracles, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Interlude]
I know it’s hurting (Hurting, hurting)
It’s just 6:30 (Just 6:30, 30)
I know it’s hurting (It’s hurting, hurting)
Pray Lord has mercy (Mercy, mercy)
I know He’s working (I know He’s working)
Oh (I know He’s working)

[Bridge]
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know it’s hurting
It’s just gone Thursday
Ain’t this some damn feeling?
Ain’t all of us just looking for some healing?
And while we wait for it
For the sweeter days to find us
Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shake off the devils that’s lurking
And close your eyes and let this music get to working

[Outro]
If you’re listening to this, I need you to hear me now
Don’t you give up on your life
Stay with me now
Oh, don’t give up on your life
It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be okay (Ah-ah, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, ah-ah, ah)
It’s gonna be fine, it’s gonna be alright
It’s gonna be okay, it’s gonna be okay
It’s gonna be okay, ah
Ah, oh (Da-da, da-da, da-da, da-da, ah-ah, ah)
