Do you want?
Do you feel?
Do you need something that's real?
Do you hurt?
Do you love?
Do you want grace from above?
Cause in my life my eyes have seen
What I want from where I've been
In the shadow of my pain
I know I'll never fall in love again
I was cursed from my birth
Two pounds, six ounces was my worth
On the eighth of July
God looked down upon me and he smiled
Though my life's been riddled with pain
I knew I was meant to do much greater things
So I give thanks and take a stand
And leave my destiny in Jah Jah's hands
Through my eyes and ears and lips I fill my soul
Like the waves that crash upon the ocean shore
Though the Devil tries to mock my every step
I cast him out and learn to let go of regret
Ooo…
There ain't no turning back
Ooo…
If my friends they've got my back
Ooo…
Lord don't let me go astray
Ooo…
To live to fight another day!

At age fifteen
I dropped out of school
I didn't want to be another educated fool
Had a guitar that I learned to play
And I'm still jamming on it to this day
I left home to clear my head
But I wound up following the Grateful Dead
I grew up fast
As time would tell
But back home it was a living hell
Through my eyes and ears and lips I fill my soul
Like the waves that crash upon the ocean shore
Though the Devil tries to mock my every step
I cast him out and learn to let go of regret
Ooo…
There ain't no turning back
Ooo…
If my friends they've got my back
Ooo…
Lord don't let me go astray
Ooo…
To live to fight another day, yeah!
Ooo…
There ain't no turning back
Ooo…
If my friends they've got my back
Ooo…
Lord don't let me go astray
Ooo…
To live to fight another day.
