It All Comes True

I stand here a black man i have no history

I was brought up in east chicago and i grew up on the streets

The chains around the playground were the chains around my heart

The brand upon my shoulder well it reminds you who you are



Chorus:

And it all comes true yes it all comes true

Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you

And you think, what have i done? what can i do?

What you believe about yourself

It all comes true



I was just a young girl my mother called me "hon"

My father was unhappy 'cause i should have been his son

They said, "learn to be a waitress and learn to be a wife

And be thankful for a chance to live an ordinary life"



Chorus:

And it all comes true yes it all comes true

Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you

And you think, what have i done? what can i do?

What you believe about yourself

It all comes true



My life is a contradiction of sorrow and desire

I drag my heart across the ash to throw it on the fire

Maybe there's a reason and could there be a plan

Or are we all just fools to think we'll understand



Chorus:

And it all comes true yes it all comes true

Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you

And you think, what have i done? what can i do?

What you believe about yourself

It all comes true



And it all comes true yes it all comes true

Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you

And you think, what have i done? what can i do?

What you believe about yourself

It all comes true
