Georgia Anne Muldrow - Heading Home REMIX lyrics

Intro: I've been so close still I'm so far Only human Reaching for the stars Then I stutter try to get ahead Look at my reflection saw your face instead I'm heading home Verse 1: I am a new kind of human being Consumed with seeing Myself in a new light And trying to do right In the sight of the righteous one Undefined alive as the rising sun New life of the heart of the darkest of skin Like targets we guard the harvest beings The hardest of roads we walk untraveled The way we made the world unraveled So now the balance is skewed we were fooled Like lambs from the slaughter plans from a daughter unwed Arranging a marriage from the dead I can't seem to get your thoughts out of my head I'll evolve and transform Like storm clouds changing to blue skies true lies why I'm amazing And I'm waiting for the changes to come Chasing dreams in the mean time and seeing the sun rise Chorus I've been so close still I'm so far Only human Reaching for the stars Then I stutter try to get ahead Look at my reflection saw your face instead I'm heading home Verse 2 I've been described as a renaissance man. In a house on sand Unstable, unable to walk on hands and knees I'm crawling like infants balling The work keeps calling, I feel like falling Fly's on cheese, dying on the streets Like vermin the sermon and the truth don't meet And the Youth don't speak cause they've never been spoken to And we wonder why the spirits so broken Close minds open Nothing gets through We worship tradition so nothing is new Like under the sun, life under the gun Fight until we won now our world is undone But if war comes we don't plan to show up It's hard to be a man, like pan's scared to grow up Too many lost boys seeing the end They don't care lead by their fair weather friends Chorus I've been so close still I'm so far Only human Reaching for the stars Then I stutter try to get ahead Look at my reflection saw your face instead I'm heading home Verse 3 The world can be perverted and bleak We're herded like sheep Flirting with destiny, earning our keep It's best too be good but it's so damn hard Should be near to the spirit but we are so damn far The system we live in tried and untrue We don't smile, we are like miles kind of blue Black and white only simple divisions We gather shades of grey like pigeons Flying in the face of truth with no qualms Dying to paint the cold world white as snow storms Poltical warfare we can't call it murder Brothers they got blocked covered like a Burka No wonder the d**h toll climbed like a shirpa They make great weapons we ain't never heard of Children not learn cause we're uncertain Burning for the truth still the world keeps turning Chorus I've been so close still I'm so far Only human Reaching for the stars Then I stutter try to get ahead Look at my reflection saw your face instead I'm heading home
