We've been down to the bottom
Stories we got 'em , when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
To 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
I never knew that it would feel like this
When the two that raised 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 beautiful arms they surround me
And any other soul who has to sail those seas
Of a broken family
[Chorus]
Been so many times that I've been close to rock bottom
Trying 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 the cancer might cause her to die
How can this be, I thought that God loved me?
So why would he try to take my mother from me?
And as I cry myself to sleep at night, holding on my pillow tight
He spoke to me and said that everything gonna be alright
So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused
Try to move on and I try to stay strong
So put your hands up, hey, if y'all are feelin' 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, in unity
[Chorus]
I've been there too
When everything falls apart and the best you can do is
Get through each day wonderin' will this never end?
Is it always going to be this way?
And the greatest lie you've ever been told is that
You're the only one to ever 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
[Chorus]
The lyrics of this song are about overcoming tough times and how we are not alone in our battles. The first verse talks about the pain of dealing with the breakdown of a family, and how sometimes it feels like it's too much to handle. The singer feels like they are at rock bottom and that their pain is too loud to ignore. They seek comfort in God's love and know that they are not alone in their struggles.
The second verse is about a different kind of struggle, the illness of a loved one. The singer feels helpless and questions why God would take away someone they love. But through their pain, they find comfort in God's words and the support of their community. They know they are not alone in their struggle and that they will get through it together.
The chorus is a rallying cry for anyone who has been through tough times to stand up and put their hands in the air. It's a symbol of solidarity and support. The lyrics are meant to remind people that they are not alone in their struggles and that there is always someone who cares. The most high refers to God, and even in our darkest moments, we can find comfort in his love.
Line by Line Meaning
We've been down to the bottom
We've been at our lowest point
Stories we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
We have stories to share about our struggles when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
If you've gone through tough times, raise your hands
To let the lost know that someone cares
To let those who feel lost know that there are people who care
'Cause we've been down to the bottom
Because we've experienced the depths of despair
Stories we've got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
We have stories to tell about the challenges we faced when we hit rock bottom
If you been there put your hands in the air
If you've gone through tough times, raise your hands
And let somebody know that the Most High cares
And let someone know that God cares
I never knew that it would feel like this
I never imagined feeling this way
When the two that raised you up and call it quits
When the people who raised you decide to separate
Nobody told me 'bout the emptiness
No one warned me about the feeling of emptiness
When the place you call home is closed for business
When your home no longer feels like home
I push the pain down, I gotta get by
I try to ignore the pain and carry on
Always knowin' in my heart that it ain't gonna fly
Knowing deep down that this strategy won't work
Rock bottom's never felt so near before
I've never felt closer to hitting rock bottom
And if pain is God's megaphone it's loud and clear
If God is trying to get my attention through pain, I'm hearing it loud and clear
So hold me now father, human love ain't enough
God, please comfort me because human love is not enough
I've failed and been failed by the people I love
I have failed and others have failed me, even those I love
But your beautiful arms they surround me
God's loving embrace surrounds me
And any other soul who has to sail those seas
And anyone else who is going through a difficult time
Of a broken family
Of a family that has been torn apart
Been so many times that I've been close to rock bottom
I've been on the verge of hitting rock bottom many times
Trying to look for answers but nobody's got 'em
I've tried to find solutions to my problems but no one has them
Like the time my mother looked me in the eye
Like the time my mother had a serious conversation with me
Tryin' not to cry, tellin' me the cancer might cause her to die
Trying to hold back tears, she told me that she might not survive cancer
How can this be, I thought that God loved me?
I wondered why God would let this happen if He loved me
So why would he try to take my mother from me?
Why would God want to take my mother away from me?
And as I cry myself to sleep at night, holding on my pillow tight
I cry myself to sleep at night, clinging to my pillow
He spoke to me and said that everything gonna be alright
God spoke to me and assured me that everything will be okay
So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused
So I tried to overcome the pain that my situation caused
Try to move on and I try to stay strong
I try to move forward while remaining strong
So put your hands up, hey, if y'all are feelin' me
Raise your hands if you can relate to what I'm saying
And put your hands up for everyone to see
Raise your hands so everyone can see that we are united
So put your hands up, we all a family
Raise your hands because we are all a family
So put your hands up, in unity, in unity
Raise your hands in unity
I've been there too
I've gone through similar struggles as well
When everything falls apart and the best you can do is
When everything is going wrong and you can only do your best
Get through each day wonderin' will this never end?
Get through each day, questioning if the struggles will ever end
Is it always going to be this way?
Will things always be this difficult?
And the greatest lie you've ever been told is that
The biggest falsehood you've been told is that
You're the only one to ever walk on this road
You are alone in your struggles
And that you'll never see the light of dawn, so we came together to say
You'll never experience hope or happiness, so we came together to say
Hold on
Hang in there
'Cause we've been there and found our way home
Because we've gone through tough times and emerged on the other side
We promise you that you're not on your own
We promise that you're not alone
One day this will pass, God will see us all through
One day, this will come to an end, and God will guide us through it
God will see us all through
God will help us all get through our struggles
[Chorus]

I just realized that this song features Toby Mac. That is why he has the song on his album as well.
Levi Beavers
Actually TobyMac wrote and produced the song so technically it's his song
