Down a half

Lookin' past the edge of moonlight,

Hoping for the break of day.

Seein' only cracks in sidewalks, not

the paved city way.

Lookin' down this road to glory in a

car designed to fail.

Breathin' cold winds of freedom

while my mind remains in jail.

(2x)

With a strong steady tailwind, all I

see is pourin' rain.

A victim of a brutal mindset walks

this lonely son of shame.

Because the grass is always

greener, I will sit here in my pain.

Lookin' at the wealth around me.

Woe is me, this son of shame.

Well its p ouring snow on the

outside, but all Im s eeing is the

slush.

Looking at the wealth around me,

but just thinkin' I aint got much.

Im that m an thats prone to worry

in that far off glory land.

Who do I think Im kidding? No one

cares or under stands.

With a strong steady tailwind, all I

see is pourin' rain.

A vi ctim of a brutal mindset walks

this lonely son of shame.

Because the grass is always

greener, I will sit here in my pain.

Lookin' at the wealth around me.

Woe is me, this son of shame.

And then I start to wonder about all

that Ive been t hrough.

I opened up my eyes and see that

every day is new.

I consider all my ways; the paths

that Ive pur sued...

Man, Im so ashamed as I sit here

with a life mis used.

With a mountain set before me all I

see is v ictory.

But I know theres someone out

there and His mind remains on me.

Says the Father over his children, "It

was for you that I came.

Youre the a pple of my eye, son, my

precious son of sha me...

...shame...son of shame...sha me...son

of shame."
