To Make Me Who I Am - Aaron Neville[00:00:00]
I've walked through this world sometime without a friend[00:00:15]
My life has been up and down been close to an end[00:00:22]
I've been through the mill and I've paid my dues[00:00:29]
Walked so many miles in different peoples shoes[00:00:36]
But I've been through the fire and I've walked in the rain[00:00:43]
I've felt the joy and endured the pain[00:00:50]
Once I was a schemer but I always was a dreamer[00:00:57]
But it took me who I was and where I've been[00:01:10]
To make me who I am[00:01:18]
I've met a lot of lost souls in the bowels of hell[00:01:26]
Traveled some crooked roads and got some stories yet to tell[00:01:33]
I've shot up with the junkie in piss stench halls[00:01:41]
Broken bread with the devil fallen on my knees to God[00:01:48]
Some days I was blessed some nights I was damned[00:01:54]
But I always tried to lend a helping hand[00:02:01]
Once I was a deceiver now I am a believer[00:02:09]
But it took me who I was and where I've been[00:02:22]
To make me who I am[00:02:30]
Oh I've seen the little children all strung out on dope[00:02:38]
No one to care about them living without hope[00:02:45]
But I've been lucky that I always had a song[00:02:52]
I'll sing it with compassion to try to right the wrong[00:02:59]
Once my life was wretched but why should I regret it[00:03:06]
'Cause it took me who I was and where I've been[00:03:19]
To make me who I am[00:03:27]
This is dedicated to my friends in jail[00:03:35]
For my brother Jake who had to ride the rail[00:03:38]
For my friend Roonie and Melvin who were so dear[00:03:41]
They were so misunderstood but I wish they were still here[00:03:45]
To hear this song I sing from my heart[00:03:49]
They're forever in my soul even though we had to part[00:03:52]
Once I was a deceiver now I am a believer[00:04:03]
But it took me who I was and where I've been[00:04:16]
To make me who I am[00:04:24]
God said I forgive you wipe away the scars[00:04:32]
'Cause I know it took who you were[00:04:45]
And where you came from to make you who you are[00:04:49]
'Cause I know it took who you were[00:04:59]
And where you came from to make you what you are[00:05:03]
