Twenty-four years ago today I was a baby born and
That s the day I started singing my song
It wasn t long before I felt the river water send a chill into my bones

They told me, they re washin me clean
this is the blood to keep me cool and serene
They told me, I gotta believe
And now today I swear to god
I m gonna find out what they mean

Cuz the privileged life is taking its toll
I got nobody no where to go but
Maybe it s just me I m afraid of
