This song speaks volumes about current events that consistently shape our world. The fact remains that war, poverty and despair have taken over airwaves and news outlets. Everywhere you turn, citizens of the world are losing their life savings while corporations are wasting tax payer dollars and asking for government bailouts. It’s no wonder that we’re desperate for a bailout of our own. Here, the incomparable Gerideau delivers a powerful message of hope and optimism, despite the troubling times we live in. Problems come and go. Push yourself to grow. It’s time to pray for guidance and live the best that life can give. Listen to this incredible new song and play it loud for the whole world to hear!
lyrics
VERSE 1:
300 million in the world today
Strugglin' hard without a place to stay
Thousands of us will medicate the pain
Living it numb won't stop from going insane
See there's someone who'll say you mean the world to me
But you'd rather believe that you will never by free
Can’t look deep within to see the beauty in you
But I'm here to tell you what you're saying ain't true
CHORUS:
Problems come and go
Learn to overcome
Got to let it flow
(Got to let it flow)
Problems come and go
Learn to overcome
Pray for guidance live the best that life can give
(You'll see that)
Problems come and go
Learn to overcome
Push yourself to grow
(Push yourself to grow)
Problems come and go
Learn to overcome
Pray for guidance live the best that life can give
(You'll see that)
VERSE 2:
600 billion spent to fight this war
4,000 soldiers died but we ignore
We're no better off than the year before
Not even sure what we're responsible for
But there's someone today who's living in the dark
Thinking that life's path is too much to embark
I'm praying that you will change your point of view
Cause I'm here to tell you what you're saying ain't true
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Someone will say the world is yours to lead
But you’d rather believe that you will never be free
(ADLIBS)
