Who We Love

Mama their eyes burn Holes right through me when I walk by them How do I offend? They make me wanna hide Sometimes I turn my head away and try Yet I cannot disappear She said they don't know you They don't shine the way that you do This world ain't good enough for the likes of you You got to get away You got to fly boy, find your powers and a cape You got to make your escape, and get away These years have not been kind Each new day brings a struggle of a different kind But hell I don't mind A busy man looks through me His money'd eyes blind to what he will not see He don't know the secrets I keep Well I am happier than he, 'Cause I'm gonna fly boy, gonna find powers and a cape I'm gonna make my escape, gonna get outta here I know about it, I know about it. The world has lost all its dreams I know about it. The world won't let us breathe. Won't set us free Each day we run this race Consumed by self we miss the brave face Or we look away But not me. I'm gonna rise above this caste you made for me Gonna be everything you dream but will never be. I'm gonna fly... 'Cause I am Flyboy, got my powers and a cape Gonna make my escape, gonna get outta here --- Who We Love - John Wesley
