I'm a father to my children |
|
I'm a husband to my wife |
|
Seems I been something to somebody |
|
Every day of my life |
|
This is part of the master plan |
|
It don't do much to preserve a man |
|
And I'd like to see what it feels like to be |
|
Nothin' to nobody, nothin' to nobody |
|
I'm a keeper to my brother |
|
I'm my mama's fair haired boy |
|
But you know people, |
|
I would rather be |
|
Nobody's pride and joy |
|
No man is an island so they say |
|
But if I could go there for just one day |
|
Yeah, I'd like to see what it feels like to be |
|
Nothin' to nobody, nothin' to nobody |
|
I wanna be free as a bird |
|
Flyin' south for the winter |
|
And by the time they miss me |
|
I'll be long gone, yeah, long gone |
|
For some people life is just a garden |
|
You know it seems like they can just |
|
Pick and choose for themselves |
|
For me life is just the burdens |
|
That I have to carry for someone else |
|
I'm top dog at my job |
|
I do more than others can |
|
The boss likes to tell me |
|
I'm his right hand man, yeah |
|
The preacher on |
|
SundayHe tells me |
|
I'm just another child of |
|
GodLord, if |
|
You're there and if |
|
You careHey, can |
|
You see fit, yeah, to answer my prayer?' |
|
Cause I wanna see what it feels like to be |
|
Nothin' to nobody, nothin' to nobody |
|
Free as a bird, ooh, nothin' to nobody |
