William Drake


Just a sad boy
Walking the streets
No holding back
Nothing to fear

Loneliness
Tears on the floor
Painful memories
All by myself

I was searching for answers
I was lost inside
Only thirteen, hopeless about life
Growing up, leaving things behind

I need to fill this emptiness
So many emotions, it's a mess
I got a ticket to paradise
The devil is coming, he's my ride

Strangers in the avenue
Gonna take a risk, nothing to lose
Invisible between the lights
But behind the shadows I see the truth

Pretty girls everywhere
Got no money, nothing to wear
I've saw this woman calling me
Let's go boy, get in

Oh Ms. Anne, Ms. Anne
You were the first to show me
What love is
What being a man is

Oh Ms. Anne, Ms. Anne
You were the first to give me
A reason to believe
In this guy here

Some people appear in our lives
Suddenly like a thief at night
To give us lessons

To bring the pressure
Don't stop, better be clever
Be strong, young forever

Age is just a number, it doesn't matter
Watch your minset, feel your soul
Like a river, you gotta let it flow

Passing doors with Ms. Anne
The excitement is driving me insane
She said: I will take care of you tonight
In my hands, you gonna fly

Jumping into my destiny
Embrace the new, it's a ecstasy
Live it up, not hesitating
For others approval, I'm not waiting

More patience, less judgements
More peace, less ignorance
More compassion, less revenge

Evolution is the path ahead
More courage, less regrets
More freedom, let's be fair

For all the lessons thanks Ms. Anne
Tomorrow is a new day, I will be brave
