A little bit broken, a little bit bruised, mmh A little bit beat up, a little bit used But I'm wiping the blood off, I'm healing my wounds 'Cause momma didn't raise no quitter so I'm not gonna lose 'Cause I know that you have got more fight Left within you I'm building my peace by piece Every scar is lesson one I'm changing the inner me Learning to love again, live, and breathe I'm doing it peace by piece I'm doing it peace by piece, yeah If Peter Pan would never pick those peppers then I'd be A little black boy always running from the oldest They were picking on me 'cause my fingers looked shiny Carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders I couldn't catch a break, felt like giving up But I had a little luck when I thought that my luck was running out So just when you think your life will end You can always start again I know that you have got more fight Left within you (I know you got it) (I know you got more fight in you) I'm building my peace by piece Every scar is lesson one I'm changing the inner me Learning to love again, live, and breathe I'm doing it peace by piece I'm doing it peace by piece Peace is only achievable to those of us who seek it, cultivate it And understand that self-love is the best kind of love you can give It's not an easy thing to do, nor is it a linear path But the end result makes it all worthwhile I promise we'll get there one day I'm building my peace by piece Every scar is lesson one I'm changing the inner me Learning to love myself, live, and breathe I'm doing it peace by piece I'm doing it peace by piece, yeah
