Breakin' Ground

I’ve been told I’m worthless
So much that it gave me purpose
And I took the creative license
To believe that it means I’m priceless
Now I’m so determined
To prove that I ain’t no burden
And I know I’m gonna make it out
‘Cause I’m already breakin' ground
I come from a tribe of no ones
All we had was lost or stolen
Got a pocket full of debt and doubt
And barrel full of hand me downs
I thought all doors were broken
‘Til I finally got one open
And I know I’m gonna make it out
‘Cause I’m already breakin' ground
I know I’m gonna make it out
‘Cause I’m already breakin' ground
Since the blessings started pouring down
See I’m already losing count
I’m earning the right to say anybody can find their way
‘Cause I know I’m gonna make it out
‘Cause I’m already breakin' ground
I’ve met some folks just like me
Who sit and wonder what life might be
If they were dealt with a privileged hand
Or inherited a thousand grand
This life is a lesson in unfair
But I’m studying «Not To Care»
‘Cause I know I’m gonna make it out
‘Cause I’m already breakin' ground
I know I’m gonna make it out
‘Cause I’m already breakin' ground
Since the blessings started pouring down
See I’m already losing count
I’m earning the right to say anybody can find their way
‘Cause I know I’m gonna make it out
‘Cause I’m already breakin' ground
It feels like yesterday
I was sleeping in Thunder Bay
I planned on giving up
But giving up gave up on me
And then you told my story
Showed me there’s a path before me
Now I know I’m gonna make it out
‘Cause I’m already breakin' ground
I know I’m gonna make it out
Cause I’m already breakin' ground
Since the blessings started pouring down
See I’m already losing count
I’m earning the right to say anybody can find their way
Cause I know I’m gonna make it out
‘Cause I’m already breakin' ground
I know I’m gonna make it out cause I’m already breakin' ground
Since the blessings started pouring down
See I’m already losing count
I’m taking it day by day as I’m learning my own way
Cause I know I’m gonna make it out
‘Cause I’m already breakin' ground
