take take a look at the sky
sometimes your heaven seeems so far away
take take a look under here
where deprevation turns into decay
i ve stood under this rain
felt it seep into my brain
i ve shut my eyes and crawled around this mud
i m scared of growing old
i shiver when i m cold
dont you think i bleed the same blood

CHORUS:

ii could have been you
you could have been me
one small change that shapes your destiny
if you want the proof
cut me an you ll see
i could have been you
you could have been me

wait wait before you turn off
maybe theres a chance we can relate
wait everybody turns on
why deny a fact thats so innate
its not so easy anymore
they way you used to keep score
not so black and white the color of your sin
take a walk inside my shoes
a path i didnt choose
spend the night inside of my skin

CHORUS

change is turning into fear
fear is melting into hate
with hate you justify you crime
a crime compassion can erase
erase erase

touch touch what i feel
and know i believe evrything i say
so go go if you must
remember one thing as you walk away

CHORUS
