As an uneducated immigrant who came to this country with no money or knowledge of English in my teenage years, the US quickly showed me where my place is. The verses represent this sort of way of being mistreated and the chorus describes that no matter what life throws at me, I’ll always stand my ground and “carry on with my sweetest tone.”
lyrics
All the pills are drying me out
You gave me hope but turning me down
All of you here but never around
It’s alright
I will carry on
In my sweetest tone
Sometime I wish you could just
Wait for me
All the jeans are wearing me out
You built me up now tearing me down
You showed me love now loving me out
It’s alright
I will carry on
In my sweetest tone
Sometime I wish you could just
Wait for me
It’s alright
I will carry on
In my sweetest tone
Sometime I wish you could just
Wait for me
