Verse 1
.10 at night I
Fm
Cm
was given to the world with an explosion of light supply
Ab
Cm
Every air was surging to the arms of an
G
Fm
angel that made me take my first breath
Cm
I opened my eyes with my
Ab
face against his chest
Gm
Cm
Handed me to my parents to
Fm
finally be raised and protected
Bb
F
Be taught the ways of life and
Cm
how to be loved and respected
G
Fm
I was an only child, given all their attention
Gm
Fm
To intake all of their morals and let
Cm
Ab
their mold a new invention
Cm
While they were determined to overcom
G
Fm
Gm
pensate for what they were giving
Bb
Fm
Cm
By showing me and thanking
God that I was living
We were a family together
F
G
with no pieces missing
Fm
F
Fm
I walked in the shadow of what
Cm
they were teaching me
Ab
Cm
I was listening and they showed me
Fm
Cm
G
communication so that I could interact
Fm
F
Defend yourself with morals,
Cm
Ab
don't be the first to hit back
Cm
Gm
Fm
Being my examples, and being my role models, and bringing me from nothing,
Cm
Ab
G
Cm
from everything, to a toddler, now on the verge of childhood
G
F
Fm
Where everything is changing,
Cm
Ab
I have started going to a place where I can get an education
Cm
I'm reading and remembering my
G
Gm
Fm
ABCs, and seeing that these other
Cm
children don't act like me
Ab
Cm
Fm
I had a fear of death, and I saw older than my age,
Cm
and I'll be quiet for days, can feel the other children's pain
I was different than my surroundings,
G
F
G
with an intense passion and growth
F
Fm
Ab
Little did I know that the coming years would come to hold us,
Cm
Fm
scarred fists and lonely room, but the nightlight was always on
Bb
F
Cm
A little bit of assurance that would
Ab
hold me until the dawn
Cm
The circle of my life was a third
Gm
Fm
Gm
of the way complete
G
Cm
I pulled the covers over my head,
Ab
Ab
falling asleep to my heartbeat
Cm
Fm
Ab
Fm
I was born into a palace of love that brought
Cm
me up to life being alive and alone
Bb
Fm
Cause I was born into a palace of love that brought
Bb
F
Fm
me up to life being alive and alone

Cm
Ab
Cm
The morning lit up my room and
just poured me into that mirror
And that fuzzy image was
Gm
Bb
Gm
Cm
now fifty times clearer
Ab
Cm
I was beginning to take shape as a young
man who knew nothing about his fate
Fm
Gm
Cm
Fm
C
While a voice whispered in the day
Cm
Ab
Cm
Sixteen years since my first
taste of the oxygen
Ab
Gm
Bb
And life is all about being a comedian
Cm
Fm
Ab
While I walk the long corridors look
Gm
Cm
ing at the gum on the floor
Ab
Gm
Hoping not to make eyesight for
Cm
Fm
those who are more mature
Cm
Ab
I'm insecure about girls,
Cm
they're not impressed with my tactics
Ab
Gm
Classmates laugh cause I was
Cm
sarcastic and overdramatic
Ab
Cm
Well, I possess a type of personality
And took things to the maximum and
Gm
Fm
took everything so gradually
Ab
Grades were not important,
Fm
Cm
authority was my jealous enemy
Ab
Gm
And who is dominant? I'm
Bb
Fm
having a selective memory
Cm
Ab
Cm
So far from where I started,
I stood at that ledge
Ab
Gm
Going through the open spaces
Fm
Cm
and the confines of my head
Ab
Fm
I had started walking backwards
Cm
just to find a different course
When I had learned the defini
Gm
Cm
tion of a difficult divorce
Fm
And the worst is yet to come,
Cm
but my direction had to be straightened
Gm
The wounded be healed,
Cm
but I had to rebuild with my paces
Slowly but surely,
Gm
the role model lost all its meaning
Cm
Ab
replaced with yelling matches and screaming
Cm
Those eyes that were glued to
Gm
Fm
that high school floor
When I'm on bullet alert with my fist up,
Gm
Cm
I'm a self -declared orphan by
Gm
Fm
convenience and pain
And everything had lost value
Cm
from trust to my last name
The river's pulling me under by
Gm
Fm
dragging me on my arm
Gm
Fm
But I'm not used to swimming because
Cm
the water has always been calm
Ab
Cm
I went under with the
force of nature, but
Bb
Fm
When I came back on the sur face,
Cm
there was nothing left
I had to rebuild and look for
Gm
Fm
that lost piece of my soul
Ab
Bb
Fm
I had nowhere to start except
I'm in search of the person I was,
Fm
Ab
but I had a higher purpose
Gm
Fm
F
Learn what there is to know
Fm
and walk barefoot in
Cm
Ab
God's churches
Cm
I went back to that mirror to
Fm
see how much I had changed
My childhood was gone so fast,
Cm
Ab
my younger face had left a stain
Cm
Fm
I speak as an adult with a desire to help
Dm
Bb
Cm
those who can't stand up on their own
Ab
Cm
Fm
I speak as an adult with a desire to help
Cm
those who can't stand up on their own

Fm
Cm
Fm
I speak as an adult with a desire to help
Cm
those who can't stand up on their own
Gm
Fm
I speak as an adult with a desire to help
Bb
Cm
those who can't stand up on their own
My feet have seen every mile
my eyes have seen every tree
Fm
Cm
Ab
I have drank from the streams and I have prayed on my knees
Cm
Fm
and I have read every book that was ever written
And teaching I have spoken every
Cm
Ab
form of understandable speech
Cm
Fm
I touched love so many times that I thought it would never
Cm
Ab
end and I believe life now died on the inside for my friends
Cm
Gm
Cm
My past is my future and soon the two will collide
Fm
Fm
Cm
making the time I shed my skin the very day
Ab
Cm
Gm
Fm
Ab
I de cide to break away from the journey, say goodbye to the peace,
Fm
Cm
break the pact with the pain and let my heart be released
Ab
Cm
Fm
And at this point I have lived enough for 50 lives and my
Bb
Cm
struggle has gone on longer than I had ever realized
Ab
Cm
And my parents have passed away
Fm
and my leg s are getting sore
F
I'm alone like when I was younger,
Fm
Cm
Ab
but I'm not afraid of the dark any more.
Cm
The missing piece was always there
Ab
I just had to look harder,
Bb
Cm
Ab
but I'm reborn spiritually as I become a father
Cm
The love has brought me back
Fm
from that exploding moment
Ab
Fm
Cm
But now the tables have turned and it's me who owns
Ab
G
Cm
it and as of now me and the pain have an agreement
Ab
It will not touch my development,
Cm
or my son's existence
I have stoned the benefits of loss,
Ab
and made a choice to overcome
Cm
I stopped walking and found myself
in the place where I begun
Bb
Cm
Ab
Cm
Cause I have seen everything
Dm
and I have been every place
Ab
Fm
I have breathed in everybody,
I have worn every face
Ab
Cm
I have seen everything and
I have been every place
I have breathed in everybody,
Ab
I have worn every face
Cm
I have seen everything and
I have been every place
I have breathed in everybody,
Cm
I have worn every face
Ab
I have seen everything and
I have been every place
I have breathed in everybody,
Fm
I have worn every face
Ab
Cm
I have everything and I
Ab
Cm
And I have worn every face
Ab
Cm
Cm
I am now sitting here
waiting for my home town
Cm
A face comes before my eyes
I just wanna lay down
Cm
This is how I spend my day,
walking around in circles.
Fm
Cm
I can't find where I've been.
