I'm supposed to be the major, decision maker who's greater
Stays composed while never exposed to bad behavior
Though wishing to be a savior, anyone here can wager
That my river doesn't run true blue, it's much grayer
I wake up every day, work and anticipate
Hoping my worries, stresses and struggles will dissipate
Laugh when I'm ashamed, smile while I'm in pain
Cry when I'm allow and standing out in the rain
But no one's supposed to know it, I'm not supposed to show it
A fallen soldier can't lay down and die, he shouldn't blow it
Cause the river never stops when it wants, it's always flowing
And doing is just half of the battle, the other's knowing
Can we fly away?
There was so much I couldn't take
Oh, there were times I felt I'd break
But through it all, we've paved the way
To get lost in the heavens
I'm tired of being bold, tired of being cold
Tired of being told what to do, being controlled
I'm tired of a system that judges my colored skin
On the corner, handcuffed for walking where "others" live
I'm tired of waking up every day just for a check
I'm worth more than an hourly wage, where's the respect
I'm tired of false deals, tried of missed meals
'Cause I know I wasn't placed on this earth to pay bills
I'm tired of waking up, viewing the front page
Another bright child, dead at a young age
The truth, I'll be frank, my faith has been blank
Seems the only one who keeps it 100 is Ben Frank
Can we fly away?
There was so much I couldn't take
Oh, there were times I felt I'd break
But through it all, we've paved the way
To get lost in the heavens
Let's get lost in heaven
It would last forever
We deserve it
For living the purpose
Let's go get lost in heaven
It would last forever
We deserve it
For living the purpose
Can we fly away?
There was so much I couldn't take
Oh, there were times I felt I'd break
But through it all, we've paved the way
To get lost in the heavens
To get lost in the heavens
To get lost in the heavens
To get lost in the heavens
To get lost in the heavens
