I got a call from a friend the other day
I hadn't talked to in a while
I could tell by the sound of her voice
she was hurting she was down
She said do you have a minute
Oh I need somebody to hear me out
can you listen to me Can you hear me
I've done all that I can do and
I'm tired of going through
Tell me what's going on
When I take one step forward
something always seems to pull me back 2 steps
If it's not my job or my bills it's worry and stress
I can't get that monkey off my back and
I'm growing weary every day
HOLD ON
Let me talk to you I've been there done that
and I know just what you're going through

I've been there I've done that
I could write a book about it
cause I've been there and done that
I've been there I've done that and I know just what you're going through
Hold on let me talk to you

Cause child I've been homeless I've been broke
I've been one step away from the jail
and one step away from the grave but I made it through
There came a time in my life that I had to make some tough decisions
Either I was gonna step out on faith or
I was gonna keep doing things my way
I had to give up my way so I stepped out on faith
I found out that an idle mind is the devil's workshop
So I had to stop doing what I used to do and try something new
If it didn't work I tried again
If it didn't work I tried again
I tried it all over again
I started seeing things change for the better
I stepped out on faith
I started watching things work out in my favor
I stepped out on faith

It took a while for me to get up on my feet but I stepped out on faith
I started seeing things change for the better
I stepped out on faith
I started watching things work out in my favor

I've been there I've done that I could write a book about it
cause I've been there and done that
I've been there I've done that and I know just what you're going through
HOLD ON"
