The brighter things get to realize your dreams Brings on the whole world to pa** judge on your scene I'm trying to ask you to open up your senses To all the fine things that tear down the fences Put up by and kept by those who don't always listen To what father told you they would be missin' Out and down on this child's intervention This boy never meant nothing but just to give you All about the pa**ion Extra now extra now won't you read all about it Don't judge him on what the others might say You'll be askin' him for just one thing some other day And he's tryin', and he's buyin' and he's got him some time
And it looks like, and it feels like, he's doin' fine So won't you lay back and stay back off his line This boy never meant nothing but just to give you All about the pa**ion People, now people, won't you please understand This child's not thinking about what others chance The rain's pouring down on him like harsh blowing sand Blinding him with darkness, it's no wonder he ran Back to the old school right now if they'd see him through They know that he's brewin' up a fresh batch of home stew Now they'll sit back and if they only knew This boy never meant nothing but just to give you All about the pa**ion
