Now I know the way it goes You gotta pay back every that you owe Twelve years old, in your mama's Shut the blinds and lock up door And if you hear, someone's comin' Just close your eyes and them disappear now
Years away, finds me here On my own, on my way now So I send my friends, gifts from where I've Something for the hand, never there to lend Better those eyes, climbing paradise And don't pretend, you won't it in the end now
Dearest dear, I know you been Why'd you run, tell me, you disappear now? That you're not with me Seems to be the only that I can see you clearly I may not know, how to treat or give you you need But I am a gentleman who says he means now
And now I sing upon my And praise the of a gentle breeze I see it swell a story in me to tell Told away and past my baby dying So you raise them up, to always hell They're unaware, share, give a to help son
Oh, you give them away but they'll come to you someday Wanna know why nobody was ever to help them And no it fair and if God forbid you care It's to get you in a whole lotta trouble Oh, realize, it ain't to idealize Or put your life in the hands of any
Never or ever claim to be And never buy freedom just ain't free now Ella sang, in the sand Like a within to help us understand Heaven awaits, we're our last stand Glory bound and in our hand
