1
Now that I know the way it goes
2
You gotta pay back every penny that you owe
3
Twelve years old, in your mama's clothes
4
Shut the blinds and lock up every door
5
And if you hear, someone's comin' near
6
Just close your eyes and make them disappear now
7
Years away, finds me here today
8
On my own, always on my way now
9
So I send my friends, gifts from where I've been
10
Something for the hand, they're never there to lend
11
Better keep those eyes, climbing paradise
12
And don't pretend, you won't reach it in the end now
13
Dearest dear, I know you been here
14
Why'd you run, tell me, why'd you disappear now?
15
That you're not here with me
16
Seems to be the only time that I can see you clearly
17
I may not know, how to treat or give you what you need
18
But I am a gentleman who says what he means now
19
And now I sing upon my knees
20
And praise the kindness of a gentle breeze
21
I see it swell like a story in me to tell
22
Told years away and past my baby dying
23
So you raise them up, to Heaven always hell
24
They're unaware, share, give a hand to help son
25
Oh, you give them away but they'll come back to you someday
26
Wanna know why nobody was ever there to help them
27
And no it ain't fair and if God forbid you care
28
It's enough to get you in a whole lotta trouble
29
Oh, realize, it ain't wise to idealize
30
Or put your life in the hands of any struggle
31
Never renounce or ever claim to be
32
And never buy that freedom just ain't free now
33
Ella sang, siftin' in the sand
34
Like a hymn within to help us understand
35
Heaven awaits, we're making our last stand
36
Glory bound and sparrow in our hand
