You ask me, | |
Why it is I come to you, | |
when someone else is just as good. | |
I asked them but they said the same, | |
Didn’t even ask my name. | |
Explain to me | |
Just what it is you have to lose | |
Take a minute in my shoes | |
Don’t it feel like you’ve paid your dues already | |
I’ll show you, | |
That all our fates are so entwined | |
don’t lose your faith in humankind | |
Just don’t forget my state of mind | |
is fragile. | |
Together, | |
we can enjoy the taste of dignity | |
As long as you believe in me | |
I’ll show you my reality | |
I’ve seen a few. | |
