Just Like You Songtext
von Bob Neuwirth
Just Like You Songtext
Can′t be righted
Til' you′ve been wronged
Can't rise up
Til' you have fallen
Can′t spread your wings
Til′ you have crawled
Can't have a calling
Til′ you've been called
I woke up
And so many fears
Had made their way
Across my face
Just like you
Just like any other
Wondering, should I even bother?
I woke up
Looked at my face
So filled with doubt
Just a disgrace
The water of life
Filling the sink
You′re thirsty child
So drink
And I walked out
Into the street
Stumbling a path
So hard to be
Littered with the heart's debris
Crying out loud
Who′s calling me?
Answering
Child, you got the gall
To even ask?
Least you been called
So I entered the field
Cleared some land
And over a creek
I laid some stone
Found my footing
And then knelt down
And felt the grasp of the sun above
Offering a hand
Then I got up
Just like you
Just like any other
Exchanging one way for another
And I woke up
And so many fears
Had died and dried
And in their place
A crazy kind of hope embraced
Chased the tears
Across my face
Work to be done
Worlds to parade
Debts to be paid
Debts to be paid
The hard path glitters
Am i glad to go?
'Fraid so
'Fraid so
Til' you′ve been wronged
Can't rise up
Til' you have fallen
Can′t spread your wings
Til′ you have crawled
Can't have a calling
Til′ you've been called
I woke up
And so many fears
Had made their way
Across my face
Just like you
Just like any other
Wondering, should I even bother?
I woke up
Looked at my face
So filled with doubt
Just a disgrace
The water of life
Filling the sink
You′re thirsty child
So drink
And I walked out
Into the street
Stumbling a path
So hard to be
Littered with the heart's debris
Crying out loud
Who′s calling me?
Answering
Child, you got the gall
To even ask?
Least you been called
So I entered the field
Cleared some land
And over a creek
I laid some stone
Found my footing
And then knelt down
And felt the grasp of the sun above
Offering a hand
Then I got up
Just like you
Just like any other
Exchanging one way for another
And I woke up
And so many fears
Had died and dried
And in their place
A crazy kind of hope embraced
Chased the tears
Across my face
Work to be done
Worlds to parade
Debts to be paid
Debts to be paid
The hard path glitters
Am i glad to go?
'Fraid so
'Fraid so
