Now I know the way it goes You gotta pay back every penny you owe years old, in your mama's clothes Shut the and lock up every door And if you hear, comin' near close your eyes and make them disappear now
Years away, me here today On my own, on my way now So I send my friends, gifts from where been Something for the hand, never there to lend Better keep eyes, climbing paradise And pretend, you won't reach it in the end now
Dearest dear, I know you been Why'd you run, me, why'd you disappear now? That not here with me Seems to be the time that I can see you clearly I may not know, how to treat or you what you need But I am a who says what he means now
And now I sing upon my And praise the kindness of a gentle I see it swell a story in me to tell Told years away and my baby dying So you raise them up, to Heaven hell unaware, share, give a hand to help son
Oh, you give them but they'll come back 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 in the hands of any struggle
Never renounce or claim to be And buy that freedom just ain't free now Ella sang, in the sand Like a hymn within to help us awaits, we're making our last stand Glory bound and in our hand
