Aaron Neville - To Make Me Who I Am lyrics

Your rating:

(Aaron Neville, Gordon Chambers, Robbie Nevil, Bradley Spalter) 

I've walked through this world sometimes without a friend 
My life has been up and down, been close to an end 
But I've been through the mill 
And I've paid my dues 
Walked so many miles in different peoples shoes 

But I've been through the fire 
And I've walked in the rain 
I've felt the joy and endured the pain 

Once I was a schemer 
But I always was a dreamer 
But it took me who I was and where I've been 
To make me who I am 

I've met a lot of lost souls in the bowels of hell 
Traveled some crooked roads, got some stories yet to tell 
I've shot up with the junkie, in piss stench halls 
Broken bread with the devil, fallen on my knees to God 
Some days I was blessed, some nights I was damned 
But I always tried to lend a helping hand 

Once I was a deceiver 
Not I am a believer 
But it took me who I was and where I've been 
To make me who I am 

Oh, I've seen the little children, all strung out on dope 
No one to care about them, living without hope 
But I've been lucky that I always had a song 
I'll sing it with compassion, to try to right the wrong. 

Once my life was wretched 
But why should I regret it 
Cuz, it took me who I was, and where I've been 
To make me who I am 

Speech: 
This is dedicated to my friends in jail 
For my Brother Jake who had to ride the rail 
For my friend Roonie and Melvin, who were so dear 
They were so misunderstood 
But I wish they were still here 
To hear this song I sing from my heart 
They're forever in my soul, even though we had to part 

Once I was a deceiver 
Not I am a believer 
But it took me who I was and where I've been 
To make me who I am 

God said I forgive you 
Wipe away the scars 
Cause I know it took who you were 
And where you came from 
To make you who you are 

Cause I know it took who you were 
And where you came from 
To make you what you are
