I am conflicted, traveling the path of the soulSo gifted, still unable to break the moldI lifted, prevailing, still could not seeInsisted, my existence began with meSeems that I lost much, lost touch of realityIt cost much of the soul, what a fallacyThis world is at times I can't escapeSee myself with new eyes, now I'm trying to takeThe first step on a path that I know is paved with much difficultySimply God must save myself from a world that is falling down all around meI hear the sounds of laughter calling after meFalling too fast, my close friends are asking meCasting a glance at each other as they speak without stretched handsLike I might beA victim of circumstance, but I runIf you reach a dead end trailPray to God it never failsWe've all walked in each other's shoesSo everybody sings the bluesAnd if you reach a dead end trailPray to God it never failsWe've all walked in each other's shoesSo you won't have to sing the bluesUnder the sky, across the land with a horseIt felt like the sky and the land were divorcedThe way was easy, a rock in the pastWhat's the matter with you and the rock?Just laugh, carrying a load for the conscience untoilingI went to the water and the water was boilingThe load was heavy and rocks filled my courseMy horse drank the water and the water killed my horseI tried to keep going, weak in the kneeA righteous wind blew and it was speaking to meThe ways seem harder since my horse been deadI couldn't understand everything the wind saidLooked up at the sky and seen something strangeReturned to my country and my country was up in flamesThe trees were bleeding, they said they couldn't hide meWhere will I run to without my horse beside me?If you reach a dead end trailPray to God it never failsWe've all walked in each other's shoesWhile everybody sings the bluesAnd if you reach a dead end trailPray to God it never failsWe've all walked in each other's shoesSo you won't have to sing the bluesJust like King Midas turned things to goldI touched my soul and felt my warm blood turn coldI was told we paint the picture we want to seeThe dream, she's a woman, I'm a machineJacqueline is my mother, but not my motherI don't ask, just wearing sunglassesTaking me to pray on SundayNot one day, but three, we attended the churchWatched my father get up, *** the Bible and then workThe scripture get the picture, preacher in my bloodAnd people in my hood, no threat of attackJust a jean jacket and an arcade courted and I'm the factFrom a peasy-headed kid who was afraid to be blackImagine that taffy ghetto, it still isn't settledI played *** Pistols and listened to heavy metalI ate lunch all by myself in the meadowAnd healed every scar with wishing to be a starNow it's on, so tell me why I sing that sad song?Was I being fooled all along? Not at allCause now I'm strong, innocence return was never goneI feel it, it's coming, the break of dawnIf you reach a dead-end trailPray to God it never failsWe've all walked in each other's shoesBut everybody sings the bluesAnd if you reach a dead-end trailPray to God it never failsWe've all walked in each other's shoesBut you don't have to sing the bluesJust like theJust like theL recețiIt's all rightQ*
