You Gotta Start with the Bottom Line (Original Song)

You gotta start with the bottom line

All your wounds will heal in time

Sacrifice is worth the burden and the cost

Ringing bells peal on and on

And I don't know where we can go, we can talk

It makes no difference what the line is or the cost

Getting around somehow is difficult when you're lost

Somehow we all get around it all

Hanging pictures on the wall with a cross

Taking time won't stop the ticking of the clock

You were made for here like hands were made for time

You gotta start with the bottom line

And I don't know where we can go, we can talk

It makes no difference what the line is or the cost

Getting around somehow is difficult when you're lost

Somehow we all get around it all

Paint me a picture. Make me a clock.

Life treats me different when you're here and when you're not

It makes no difference whose side you're on

Sides are for showing who was right and who was wrong

And I don't know where we can go, we can talk

It makes no difference what the line is or the cost

Getting around somehow is difficult when you're lost

Somehow we all get around it all

You gotta start with the bottom line

You gotta start with the bottom line
