If They're Shooting At You

So I said to you I’m not free
I got a mountain falling down on me
I got sickness and I’ve got doubts
All the people want to scream and shout

I’m so tired I’m always on my knees
And I’m cold it’s always January
In this house and on these streets
It’s so grey I can’t take it
Whatever happened to the life I knew?
Swept away

(Where did you go?)

So I said to you, I’m busy
I got jobs to do that would make you dizzy
And I’m juggling all my plates
Living far below my estimate

People have for me, I’m always failing
In my family life I’m always trailing
‘Come to me’, you said
‘Leave your home’
‘They can’t kill you in my hands’
But if they try, don’t take fright
If they’re shooting at you kid
You must be doing something right

All I want is for a bit of peace
A nice warm house and for my family
To take me back because you know I miss them
Miss my boys, I miss their mother, I’ll kiss them

But instead I’m running out of time
Out of air I fear I must be dying
‘Come to me’ you said
‘Leave your pain’
They can’t kill you in my hands’
‘You’re my son’
‘You’re my love’
‘Gonna catch you gently now’
‘You are with me, I got you now’

I got you now
I got you now
I got you now
