Lyrics

She's a hardworking mama
It’s such a shame what he did
He never wanted any drama
But didn’t think about the kids
One day he up and left them and didn’t say a word
Now they have got to deal with all the rumours they’ve heard

I bet you wanna put your elbow in it
I bet it caused you pain
Well I hope that you learn from it
I hope you learn to change

One brother was shot and
Then so was another
One was stabbed to death
I lost track of the others
Pray for resolution
Pray that we find
A place in our hearts for all humankind

I bet you wanna put your elbow in it
I bet it caused you pain
Well I hope that you learn from it
I hope you learn to change
I bet you wanna put your elbow in it
I bet it caused you pain
Well I hope that you learn from it
Learn to love again

Broken up, beat up and defeated is sometimes exactly what we need.
A child in need is a child indeed
Don’t walk away if you didn’t plant the seed
Sleepless nights can turn to one and two then three.
If you raise your fists at me I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I promise not to raise my fist at you.

I bet you wanna put your elbow in it
I bet it caused you pain
Well I hope that you learn from it
I hope you learn to change
I bet you wanna put your elbow in it
I bet it caused you pain
Well I hope that you learn from it
Learn to love again
