Peace by Piece - Jordan Mackampa

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 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 again, live, and breathe

I’m doing it peace by piece

I’m doing it peace by piece, yeah
