When I was just a young son I would sit in the tree of my front lawn Dressed for combat with my Star Wars gun I'd been watching movies bout Vietnam When I was just a teen On the golf course green I took LSD I saw my whole life right in front of me So fresh so crystal clean When I woke up the next day With my boys drinking 40's smokin' jays Back to normal but not for me I had been graced by the face or at least The back of the knot Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot I could not turn away That was a lonely day That was a lonely day That was a lonely That was a lonely That was a lonely day Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot I could not turn away Couple years in Oregon 19 then I found myself back again Where I feel free In the city that's home to me University place Where I used to cop tree In the square with my pen Writing down everything At the Nuyorican Poets Cafe See my reflection Staring back at me That was a lonely That was a lonely That was a lonely day Found myself in a place I could not turn the plot I could not turn away Flash forward 15 years have gone by Hair gone white but the well don't run dry Magic in my mic that might make ya cry When the bass drop make ya feel so fly 10,000 hours now I don't need to try When I sink in the body it come alive Just play the beat and the rest will fall in line Interest I be growing like all of the time That was a lonely That was a lonely That was a lonely day I thought that was the only way I thought that was the only way Now all my days are no longer gray won't you send some love my way Send some love my way

You're a warrior fighting for your soul Taken from the world above and brought down the world below You're the son of his majesty Remember how it used to be In the light of day it's easy to see Now it's nighttime You had to leave Separated from the king Now the water's rushing and you keep trying to swim against the stream And it seems, like your not moving the many water's gushing you gasp for air Almost drowning ears ringing, once upon a time we were singing One day the trees will stand and clap hands Stream of thought getting caught in the klipa, this place is just a shell, external Egos swell, that one'll burn ya, we fell a long way down, that eternal frown'll get you You look vexed it's the dregs, the yetzer hara's lurking Trying to make you forget we got a job to do You're a priest and a prince and you can't be moved Chorus: You're a warrior, Fighting for your soul Taken from a world above, and brought down to a world below Re-united, re-united return the princess to the king, Re-united, re-united, she's been taken for so long Re-united, re-united and then she'll be filled with joy Re-united, re-united like the days of her youth Descended to the pit What's this feeling can't get rid of it Soul sick Can't seem to shake it When one retires at night weeping, joy will come in the morning You made my mountain stand strong Chorus Like and ancient memory Remember how it used to be Close your eyes and breath in That's the scent of freedom Ringing across the sea Land of milk and honey One day will wake up from this dream and we'll stop sleeping, Oh, yo, then we'll see clearly Chorus

Welcome to my broken car It don't move fast but it goes so far Though you might bang your head or scrape your toes Fred Flintstone with my feet on through the holes But don't you worry now, don't you worry Cause it will get you there Where you need to go Where you need to go Where you need to go Over the hillsides and the valleys, far and wide Where the sun goes and the sky it shines Oh-oh, fire gon' rage tonight Welcome to my broken home It's not so fancy, made from sticks and stones It's often empty I hope you like to be alone You can stare out the window Until you find your zone Take cover from the bombs and the bullets Take time to heal your wounds Forget what they told you now, just listen on to the tunes Listening to the tune Welcome to my broken house You don't have to tiptoe here You can put ya feet down Feel the floor beneath you, feel the ground Don't worry bout the future You're here right now Unpack your bags and relax for a while Rest your weary eyes I know you've been tired Where do you need to go? Where you got to be? Where do you need to go? I'm your taxi Don't you worry Don't you worry now Don't you worry now Fire gon' rage tonight Welcome to my broken heart I know it's hard sometimes you fall apart Welcome to my broken song Don't worry now baby You ain't done nothing wrong Welcome to my broken heart I know it's hard sometimes to fall apart Welcome to my broken song Don't worry now baby You ain't done nothing wrong Where you need to go Where you need to go Where you need to go
