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."
