Lyrics Bend - Corey Smith

Bend

He’s got a head like a brick
Dead set in his ways
Sticks and stones couldn’t lead that horse to water
He only hears what he wants
Only thinks of himself
Momma said «Damn that boy is just like his father»
And he’s doing time on a bed made of stone
No rest for the weary, no more wishful thinking
He can’t go home, no starting over again
Life’s just one long fight he can not win
Until he learns how to bend
He’s got a short, short fuse
Better not set him off
When he thinks he’s right
He’d swear in front of Jesus
Let him lie to your face, like he lies to himself
The truth is no one’s more afraid than he is
And he’s doing time on a bed made of stone
No rest for the weary, no more wishful thinking
He can’t go home, no starting over again
Life’s just one long fight he can not win
Until he learns how to bend
Until he learns how to bend
Brother give in
Brother give it up
Brother let go
You ain’t strong enough, no
We all need help, once in a while
Wake up, you’re living in denial
You’ve done your time on a bed made of stone
But it’s not too late to change the way you’re thinking
Fall down on your knees, be born again and again
Life’s just one long fight you can not win
Until you learn how to bend
Until you learn how to bend
Brother be, brother be good
Brother be, brother be good
