Jimmy saw the sun chase away the night It was a quarter past seven His body warm like the morning light Had to be in school by eleven He told himself what they had done to him That's why Jimmy never felt real sad If only someone could have lent a hand Things would have never turned out so bad Who knows why black flies just live for one day Who knows why Hey turn around It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story Hey turn around It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story now Always sat alone in the back of the cla** Because no one would take him Today he stood in front of the rest Yeah, his hands were shaking Who could have known what Jimmy thought Never had a chance to speak his words out loud The flies were burning in his head till Jimmy let them all out Who knows why black flies just live for one day Who knows why Hey turn around It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story Hey turn around It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story now It didn't pay to make fun of him Too late to say, "I'm sorry" No one would ever make fun of him You and I all the time Come with me Take my hand I will tell you when you're there Come with me Take my hand I will tell you when you're there Come with me Take my hand I will tell you when you're there
