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
