HOOK:
So I live my head up to the sky
And question the heavens asking why
Why must I go on to live
In this violence and crime
Why can't I own the lands I know
And watch all my childrens' children grown
Why must I go on to live
In this violence and crime
Verse 1
A new day begins
And you're feeling down and out
With problems ahead
Don't know yet what they're about
You wish you could die
So the madness could be gone
It's nonsense to hide and run
Something says keep pressing on
(CHORUS)
A voice in my head keep talk to me
A voice in my head keep talk to me
It tells me the road is long
It tells me we must be strong
Roll with the pain and strife
Today is the start of the rest of your life, sing it
A voice in my head keep talk to me
A voice in my head keep talk to me
Verse 2
Inside of our homes
Poverty still lodging pain
You pack up and leave
But you find him everywhere
Old man lottery
Gives you hope of reaching dreams
But that is a small logical
Casting over to extreme
(CHORUS)
HOOK
Verse 3
He talked through most of my life
Though I never seen his face
But I trust him strong
He could never be replaced
Though employment low
And the crime rate's risen high
He tells me hold on to me dreams
Still climb high reach for the sky
(CHORUS)
