i call this one “to stray from the path”

He walks

He believes

He relaxes

Just like a normal man

He dances

He works

He plays

Livin’ fast he can

‘Til he met that boy

Who took him to the river

Hold his head under the water

Told him to rethink

Taught him how to touch the sky

Now all he can do

Is think ‘bout what he’s learned

He sits

He doubts

He panics

‘Cause that boy put ideas in his head

He trembles

He shakes

He shudders

Knowin’ that he’s been lied to

People tellin’ him who to be

Now he don’ know what to do

Except sit,

And doubt,

And wonder what would happen

If he chose another way

‘Cause that boy put ideas in his head

And damned if he’ll forget

How to touch the sky
