We've been down to the bottom, stories we've got em
When we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
So let the lost know that someone cares
'Cause we've been down to the bottom, stories we've got em
When we hit rock bottom
If you been there, put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares

I never knew that it would feel like this
When the two that raise you up and call it quits
Nobody told me bout the emptiness,
When the place you call home is closed for business
I push the pain down, I gotta get by
Always knowin in my heart that it ain't gonna fly
Rock bottom's never felt so near before
And if pain is God's megaphone, it's loud and clear
So hold me now Father, human love ain't enough
I've failed and been failed by the people I love
But Your faithful arms, they surround me
And any other soul who has to sail those seas
Of a broken family

We've been down to the bottom, stories we've got em
When we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
So let the lost know that someone cares
'Cause we've been down to the bottom, stories we've got em
When we hit rock bottom
If you been there, put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares

Been so many times that I been close to rock bottom
Try to look for answers but
Nobody's got em
Like the time my mother looked me in the eye, tryin not to cry
Tellin me that cancer might cause her to die
How could this be? I thought that God loved me
So why would He try to take my mother from me
As I cry myself to sleep at night
Holdin on my pillow tight
He spoke to me and said that everything was gonna be alright
So I try to fight all the pain that it caused
I try to move on and I try to stay strong
So put your hands up if you're feeling me
And put your hands up for everyone to see
So put your hands up, we all a family
So put your hands up in unity, its unity

We've been down to the bottom, stories we've got em
When we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
So let the lost know that someone cares
'Cause we've been down to the bottom, stories we've got em
When we hit rock bottom
If you been there, put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares

We've been down to the bottom
Stories we got em
If you been there put your hands in the air, put your hands in the air

I've been there too, when everything falls apart 
And the best you can do is get through each day wondering will this never end? 
Is it always gonna be this way
And the greatest lie you ever been told
Is you're the only one to walk on this road
And that you'll never see the light of dawn
So we came together to say... hold on
'cause we've been there and found our way home
We promise you that you're not on your own
One day this will pass
God will see us all through
God will see us all through
God will see us all pass through

We been down to the bottom
Stories we got em when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air 
And let somebody know that the Most High cares
We've been down to the bottom
Stories we got em
If you been there put your hands in the air, put your hands in the air
