Pat McCay - It Was Lyrics

And I long to see a way through short days
And I feel I need a break in this haze
And I wanna know, how can I grow?
And not feel so low at the end of the road

It was breaking me down (mm-mm, mm)
Now I'm building on a rock (yeah-yeah, yeah)
It was breaking me down (whoa-whoa, oh)
Now I'm building on a rock

Speaking of balance and I hear them speak
There is no balance from extreme to extreme
One side of a scale, heavy with lies
And on the other side, you see through red eyes

It was breaking me down (mm-mm, mm)
Now I'm building on a rock (yeah-yeah, yeah)
It was breaking me down (whoa-whoa, oh)
Now I'm building on a rock

From south of SA, was born and I was raised
And it's a crazy place, so much beauty and pain
Was born in the States, where would I be?
Was born in the L.A., who would I see?

It was breaking me down (mm-mm, mm)
Now I'm building on a rock (yeah-yeah, yeah)
It was breaking me down (whoa-whoa, oh)
Now I'm building on a rock
