Joe Henry Richard Pryor Addresses A Tearful Nation Lyrics

Sometimes I think
I've almost fooled myself
Sometimes I think
I've almost fooled myself

Spreading out my wings
Above us like a tree
Laughing now, out loud
Almost like I was free

I look at you as the thing
I wanted most
You look at me
And it's like you've seen a ghost

I wear the face
Of all this has cost
Everything you tried to keep away from me
Everything I took from you and lost

Lights shine above me They're like your eyes above the street
Lights shine below me
They're like stars beneath my feet

I stood on your shoulders
And I walked on my hands
You watched me while I tried to fall
You can't bear to watch me land

Take me away
Carry me like a dove
Take me away
Carry me like a dove

Love me like you're lying
Let me feel you near
Remember me for trying
And excuse me while I disappear
