[Verse 1]
Early in the morning
I feel stones upon my chest
That I carry to the evening
'Til I lay back down to rest

[Chorus]
But I, I, I'll get by
I, I, I'll get by

[Verse 2]
I'm tired and growing weary
Of these clouds that follow me
Swallowed by the shadows
When it's sunshine that I need

[Chorus]
But I, I, I'll get by
I, I, I'll get by

[Verse 3]
I've been feeling hollow
Yeah, my soul just can't be found
So fill me with the feeling
That this all will turn around

[Bridge]
Take all my cares away
Lighten my load
Trust it'll be okay
But 'til then I'll go
Onward down the road
Carried by the hope

[Chorus]
That I, I, I'll get by
I, I, I'll get by
Yeah, I, I, I'll get by
I, I, I'll get by
