Singing My Song

Walking down the street

People that I see

Turn around and walk the other way.

I don't want no trouble

Stay in my own little bubble

That's a game I don't wanna play.

U can call me what u want.

I don't even know your name.

But Oooo my dear

Won't u hear me loud and clear?

I love u. I love u just the same.

I'm just singing my song

Hoping we get along, someday.

(Can't we get along, just get along?)

Then we all will be free.

U be u I'll be me, OK?

One says to the other

That u're my brother

Just as long as u look like me.

It would be a little better

If we all would sing together,

Harmonize in the same key.

The day is coming soon,

The day we will all understand.

But until we do, I will keep loving u

And then I'll see u in another land.

I'm just singing my song

Hoping we get along, someday.

(Can't we get along, just get along?)

Then we all will be free.

U be u I'll be me, OK?

Walking down the street one day

Everybody looked at me and turned the other way.

Tell me what did I do? What did I say?

What, is my hair too long? Did I do something too wrong? Do u not like my song?

I know I sing out of tune. I can auto fix it real soon.

I'm just a bass player not a singer. Not a talker just a thinker.

I guess I'll think for 2 beats.

1, 2 that was fun. Now I'm done.

Why u have to call me that name?

Can't u see that we're all the same?

Well if u can't see it who's the blame?

Just because I'm darker and u're lighter

Doesn't make me wronger and u righter.

Sometimes I laugh and I don't know why for

But I know I don't wanna cry no more.

Uh Oh. Gotta go. Somebody's knocking at my door.

And it's time that we all get along

'Cause I'm tired of singing this song!

I'm just singing my song

Hoping we get along, someday.

(Can't we get along, just get along?)

Then we all will be free.

U be u I'll be me, OK?
