The story of one little person

[Verse 1]
I was sitting in my truck outside the Baptist church on Main
Engine running, tank half empty, praying through the rain
The plant had cut the day shift, and my name was on the list
So I bowed my head and whispered, "Lord, I can't keep doing this."

[Chorus]
It ain't one or the other, it's the two of us at once
I can bend my knees and still get up and do the work
I ain't waiting on the sky to part or a sign to light the way
I've got faith in something bigger, and I've got faith in me

[Verse 2]
By the middle of July I was fixing Mrs. Hale's back door
She said, "Boy, you're just like your old man," and that hit me to the core
I was still broke at the first of the month, still scared of getting it wrong
But I'd learned that asking for help doesn't mean I'm walking alone

[Bridge]
Last night I pulled the old work boots from underneath the bed
And every fear I'd been avoiding started talking in my head
I said, "Lord, I still don't know much, but I know I won't sit still."
Then I woke up with my own two hands and a stronger kind of will

[Final Chorus]
It ain't one or the other, it's the two of us at once
I can bend my knees and still get up and do the work
I ain't waiting on the sky to part or a sign to light the way
I've got faith in something bigger, and I finally believe in me
