D'you Know What I Mean

Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me

The blood on the tracks and must be mine
The fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back 'cause you know what you might see

Look into the wall of my mind's eye
I think I know, but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need

Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good looking but I'm someone's child
No one can give me the air that's mine to breathe

I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Hey listen up man, they don't even know you're born"

All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need

Get up off the floor and believe in life
No one's ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me

I met my maker, I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"

All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah yeah
All my people right here, right now
D'you know what I mean? Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
