I remember I got a jumpsuit
I said how did I get myself into
This mess, there was no escaping
Just had to sit back and just take it
Meet a few good guys
I find myself surprised
That they could see the signs
I could learn a lot is what I realized
That's when I left, and those same ones were still stuck
My heart for them didn't feel any less
They were there before me and I'm glad they did not buck
If it were me, I would have been down on luck
I know it had to have sucked
I pray for the day they are released
Then all of our pain and suffering will cease
Cease, cease to exist
I pray my friends don't cease to exist
Mental health can be hard to persist
In a place, I don't know if I can do it
Just push on through, it'll only be a little bit

A little bit of time
Can't sit back and whine
Gotta hold it down
Rock out to the sound
Gotta believe that you are freedom bound
A little bit of time
Can't sit back and whine
Gotta hold it down
Rock out to the sound
Gotta believe that you are freedom bound

Oh, and a fight breaks out
Someone I know is involved
And it comes to be that his situation isn't resolved
He tries to recover, but his enemies don't let him
In his oppressors' eyes, it was too much of a sin
I can't stand that I have to sit back and just let them win
He comes to pass, and our friendship didn't last
Cause now he's gone, and it feels like it's been so long
I cope by pretending he sacrificed for me and now I'm writing this song
This song that I dedicated to him, wait, I think I hear something in the wind
It's a voice that I hear clearly, then I feel something within me
I can't make out the voice
But it makes me rejoice
Gripping this feeling I will hoist
As if I had a choice
I can't make out the voice
But it makes me rejoice
Gripping this feeling I will hoist
As if I had a choice

A little bit of time
Can't sit back and whine
Gotta hold it down
Rock out to the sound
Gotta believe that you are freedom bound
A little bit of time
Can't sit back and whine
Gotta hold it down
Rock out to the sound
Gotta believe that you are freedom bound
