Take, take a look at the sky

Sometimes your heaven seems to far away

Take, take a look under here

Where deprivation 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 growin' old, I shiver when I'm cold

Don't you think I bleed the same blood?



(chorus:)

I, I could've been you, you could've been me

One small change that shapes your destiny

If you want the proof, cut me and you'll see

I could've been you, you could've been me



Wait, wait before you turn off

Maybe there's a chance we can relate

Wait, everybody turns on

Why deny a fact that's so innate?

It's not so easy anymore, the 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 didn't choose

Spend the night inside of my skin



(chorus)



Change is turning into fear, fear is melting into hate

With hate you justify your crime, a crime compassion can erase

Erase

Erase



Touch, touch what I feel

And know I believe everything I say

So go, go if you must

Remember one thing as you walk away:



(chorus)
