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 trax and must be mine The fool on the hill and I feel fine Don't look back cos 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 "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
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 They know what I mean Yeah, yeah All my people right here, right now They know what I mean Yeah, yeah All my people right here, right now They 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 All my people right here, right now D'you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah
