I was born
On the day
Before
Yesterday
I had holes
In my shoes
I was cryin'
The blues
And I didn't
Have no place
To stay
But I know
I know I'm
Gonna make
It this time
Yes
Cause I know
Yeah
Know I'm
Gonna make
It this time
I was born
On a hill not
So far away
Out of three
Rubber bands
Old gloves
For hands
And a suit that
Had been
Thrown away
Yeah
They took the
jacket and
Pants
And
Found a brown
Paper bag
They filled it
With straw
And to top off
The drag
They gave me
Pencilled-in
Eyes
And a
Pencilled-in
Nose
Then they stuck
Me up there
And said "Strike
Me a pose"
But I know
I know I'm
Gonna make it
This time
Yes
Cause I know
Yeah
I know I'm
Gonna make it
This time
Let me sing one
So we all can
Hear it
Gonna lift my
Head up
Can you feel
My spirit
Can you feel my
Spirit
Can you feel
My spirit
And now that
I know
That I wasn't
Born
Yesterday
And that I'm
Fully grown
And I can stand
On my own
And nothin's
Gonna get
In my way
Because I'm
Gonna get mine
I'm gonna turn
Things around
I'm gonna get
Myself together
I'm gonna get
On down
And when I feel
That rain comin'
From the bottoms
Of my shoes
I'm gonna leave
Them by the
Roadside and quit
Cryin' the blues
But I know
I know I'm
Gonna make it
This time
Yes cause I know
I know I'm gonna
Make it
This time
Listen to me
Now
Gonna sing one
So you all can
Hear it
Gonna lift my
Head up can
You feel my
Spirit
Can you feel
My spirit
Can you feel
My spirit
Can you feel
My spirit
