it was really just like we had no choice I was emotionally naked 'Til I found my voice And the forgotten source Of this mainstream funk poured over me And turned out to be junk But of all the blood that I've found On my hands Just a symbol of the past Like a crushed tin can Like fuel for the fire It burns higher and higher Tear the roof off the sucker For a thousand fans And I said don't you Even think about holdin' me down Holdin' me down Well, everybody said that opposties attract And I never could believe cuz it was never on track And all the broken pieces, they gather in one place And all we really wanted was a smile on our face Like Cheers, I want to go where everybody knows my name And settle in a little town where everyone's the same But I'm a preacher and poet and I want to Let 'em know, got love, I gotta show it And the word, I gotta sow it Please believe me for real when I tell you Everything will be okay You're gonna find out, you're gonna find out When all God's children come together
