Step off a train, all alone at dawn 
Back into the hole where I was born 
Sun in the sky, never raised an eye to me   

There's blood on the tracks, and they must be mine 
Fool on the hill, and I feel fine 
Don't look back, 'cause you know what you might see   

Look into the wall of my mind's eye 
I think I know, but I don't know why 
Questions of the answers you might need   

Comin' in a mess, going out in style 
I ain't good lookin', but I'm someone's child 
No one can give me the air that's mine to breathe   

I met my maker, I made him cry 
And on my shoulder, he asked me why 
As people won't fly through the storm 
I said listen up now, we don't even know you're born   

All my people right here, right now 
D'you know what I mean? (yeah, yeah)   

All my people right here, right now 
D'you know what I mean? (yeah, yeah)   

All my people right here, right now 
D'you know what I mean? (yeah, yeah)   

I don't really care for what you believe 
So open up your fist and you will receive 
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll meet   

Get up off the floor of the leaving line 
No one's ever gonna ever ask you twice 
Get all the fuss and bring it all home to me   

I met my maker, I made him cry 
And on my shoulder, he asked me why 
As people won't fly through the storm 
I said listen up now, we don't even know you're born   

All my people right here, right now 
D'you know what I mean? (yeah, yeah)   

All my people right here, right now 
D'you know what I mean? (yeah, yeah)   

All my people right here, right now 
D'you know what I mean? (yeah, yeah)
