I was standing downtown, downtown Staring at the puddles on the ground Tryin’ to figure out a way up out of this town And I know yeah, I’m not the only one So many people out there chase the sun
If you’re looking for a free ride You better run child Or you sure won’t get too far, oh You’d better dance a dance To make the rain come down If you want to be a star, oh my life
My life (Brother you know) Sure ain’t been too easy My life (Sister you know) The life I wanna live My life (Mama you know) You’re gonna go through changes My life (I’m tellin’ you no) No turnin’ back
Every now and then I Wanna throw my hands up in the sky ‘Cause one day I know I’ll be flyin’ high And I know yeah I got to get down On my knees and pray ‘Cause in heart I know I’ll see that day
When my freedom comes along I’m gonna run child ‘Cause I know that I’ll go far Can’t let nobody kill my soul and bring me down And they know who they are, my life
My life (Brother you know) Sure ain’t been too easy My life (Sister you know) The life I wanna live My life (Mama you know) You’re gonna go through changes My life (I’m tellin’ you no) No turnin’ back
My life (Brother you know) Sure ain’t been too easy My life (Sister you know) The life I wanna live My life (Mama you know) You’re gonna go through changes My life (I’m tellin’ you no) No turnin’ back
No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back No turning back
