Step off the train all alone at dawn
 Back into the hole where I was born
 The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
 The blood on the trax and must be mine
 The fool on the hill and I feel fine
 Don't look back cos you know what you might see 

 Look into the wall of my mind's eye
 I think I know, but I don't know why
 The questions are the answers you might need
 [bad word] in a mess going out in style
 I ain't good-looking but I'm someone's child
 No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe 

 I met my maker I made him cry
 And on my shoulder he asked me why
 His people won't fly through the storm
 I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born" 

 All my people right here, right now
 D'you know what I mean?
 Yeah, yeah
 All my people right here, right now
 D'you know what I mean?
 Yeah, yeah
 All my people right here, right now
 D'you know what I mean?
 Yeah, yeah 

 I don't really care for what you believe
 So open up your fist or you won't receive
 The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
 Get up off the floor and believe in life
 No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice
 Get on the bus and bring it on home to me 

 I met my maker I made him cry
 And on my shoulder he asked me why
 His people won't fly through the storm
 I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"

 All my people right here, right now
 They know what I mean
 Yeah, yeah
 All my people right here, right now
 They know what I mean
 Yeah, yeah
 All my people right here, right now
 They know what I mean
 Yeah, yeah

 All my people right here, right now
 D'you know what I mean?
 Yeah, yeah
 All my people right here, right now
 D'you know what I mean?
 Yeah, yeah
 All my people right here, right now
 D'you know what I mean?
 Yeah, yeah
