Lyrics
Your waking moment how you feel so cold
Oh, the world never bought you but you feel so
Sold
Oh, you know
You're gonna reap what you sew
Well gather round cause I could tell you my truth
I was lost before I got here,
Now I'm coming to you
Oh, you know
This is one for the road
And time and time, won't you hear something Strange
Cause they'll tell you
How they want you but then
They go their own way
Oh, you know
At least you're never alone
And everybody seems to think that they're right
As if their only contradiction
Is that they're too scared to die
Oh, you know
You've got a ways to go
These are the letters I'm writing to
All my people who keep on fighting, to Abel
To my Abel
So come on, boy, you gotta keep it trying
Got your head held high, always keep it crying
So able
I'm so able
Your momma told you not to
Take your own gun
But you're a sharp shooting kiddo
You're the prodigal son
Oh, you know
She's only showing the ropes
Did I ever tell you how I think you are brave
Cause you're the product of two lovers who Shifted to blame
Oh, you know
You're my purposeful hope
But time and time, won't you
Hear something strange
Cause they'll tell you they don't want you
But they need you to stay
Oh, you know
At least you're never alone
And everybody seems to
Think that they're right
But whatcha knowing if
You're showing that you're
Too scared to die
Oh, you know
You've got a ways to go
These are the letters I'm writing to
All my people who keep on fighting
To Abel
To my Abel
So come on, boy, you gotta keep it trying
Got your head held high, gotta keep it crying,
So able
I'm so able
Say hi to my sister, darling, won't you
Say hi to my sister whenever you get home
(Whenever you was getting home, don't you Worry brother)
Don't worry, my brother, surely won't I
Get back to my baseline and
Turn another stone
(Turn another little stone, Let me tell you Something)
Don't sell your self short, darling with your
Sweet dreams, the big plot,
How you never chose
(How you never really chose, doesn't make a Difference)
Doesn't make a difference, does it?
Cause I met you, you met me,
We're never on our own
(Never really on our own)
If everything that we're supposed to be
Is just a couple of kiddos living out our dreams
Oh, you know
We're gonna make it so
