I am conflicted, traveling the path of the soul, so gifted[00:04:24]
Still unable to break the mold[00:04:24]
I lifted the veil and still could not see[00:04:24]
Insisted my existence began with me[00:04:24]
Seems that I lost much, lost touch of reality[00:04:24]
It cost much of the soul[00:04:24]
What a fallacy this world is at times, I can't escape[00:04:24]
See myself with new eyes, now I'm trying to take[00:04:24]
The first step on a path that I know[00:04:24]
Is paved with much difficulty[00:04:24]
So I think I must save myself[00:04:24]
From a world that is falling down all around me[00:04:24]
I hear the sounds of laughter callin' after me[00:04:24]
Fallin' too fast, my close friends are asking me[00:04:24]
Casting their glance at each other as they speak[00:04:24]
With outstretched hands like I might be a victim of circumstance[00:04:24]
But I run[00:04:24]
If you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails[00:04:24]
We've all walked in each other's shoes[00:04:24]
So everybody sings the blues[00:04:24]
And if you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails[00:04:24]
We've all walked in each other's shoes[00:04:24]
So you don't have to sing the blues[00:04:24]
Under the sky, across the land, with a horse[00:04:24]
It felt like a sky and the land were divorced[00:04:24]
The way, it wasn't easy, a rock in the past[00:04:24]
So what's the matter with you when the rock just laughed?[00:04:24]
Carrying a load for the conscious untoiling[00:04:24]
I went to the water and the water was boiling[00:04:24]
The load was heavy and rocks filled my course[00:04:24]
My horse drank the water and the water killed my horse[00:04:24]
I tried to keep going, weak in the knee[00:04:24]
A righteous wind blew and it was speaking to me[00:04:24]
The way seemed harder since my horse been dead[00:04:24]
I couldn't understand everything the wind said[00:04:24]
Looked up at the sky and seen something strange[00:04:24]
Returned to my country and my country was up in flames[00:04:24]
The trees were bleeding, they said they couldn't hide me[00:04:24]
Where will I run to without my horse beside me?[00:04:24]
If you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails[00:04:24]
We've all walked in each other's shoes[00:04:24]
So everybody sings the blues[00:04:24]
And if you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails[00:04:24]
We've all walked in each other's shoes[00:04:24]
So you don't have to sing the blues[00:04:24]
Just like king Midas turned things to gold[00:04:24]
I touched my soul and felt my warm blood turn cold[00:04:24]
I was told, we paint the picture we want to see[00:04:24]
The dream, she's the woman, I'm a machine[00:04:24]
Jacqueline is my mother but not Onassis[00:04:24]
Wearing sunglasses, taking me to pray on Sunday[00:04:24]
Not one day, but three, we attended the church[00:04:24]
Watched my father get up, grab the Bible and then work[00:04:24]
The Scripture, get the picture?[00:04:24]
Preacher in my blood[00:04:24]
And people in my hood, no threat of attack[00:04:24]
Just a jean jacket and an arcade, the fact[00:04:24]
From a ecclesiastic kid who was afraid to be black[00:04:24]
Imagine that type of ghetto[00:04:24]
It still isn't settled[00:04:24]
I play Sex Pistols and listen to heavy metal[00:04:24]
I ate lunch all by myself in a meadow[00:04:24]
And healed every scar with wishing to be a star[00:04:24]
Now it's on, so tell me why I sing a sad song[00:04:24]
Who's the pawn? Was I being fooled all along?[00:04:24]
Not at all 'cause now I'm strong[00:04:24]
Innocence deterred, was never gone[00:04:24]
I feel it, it's coming, the break of dawn[00:04:24]
If you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails[00:04:24]
We've all walked in each other's shoes[00:04:24]
So everybody sings the blues[00:04:24]
And if you reach a dead end trail, pray to God it never fails[00:04:24]
We've all walked in each other's shoes[00:04:24]
So you don't have to sing the blues[00:04:24]
