Songtexte The Overcoming - Cesare Verdacchi

my mama told
since i was born
that my life would be
as a really hard road
and i had to learn
pretty soon
to keep my head down
and be on guard
if you wanna survive
this odd world
you'd better know how
to run and hide
met a girl
i was just a teen
we loved each other
like in a dream
and one night
comin home from hers
take a walk just through the wood
and the white men came and steal my youth
oh lord they hung me to their noose
a bitter story
like hundreds more
not a long ago
i could have been your son
and it's my only heritage coz
life didn'tgive me another chance
but i see you haven't learn the lesson
and go on the violence
so mamas tell
to all your sons
that their life will be
a really hard road
and teach them this story
with harsh words
and don't spare the raw details
and i hope they'll survive
this odd world
and stop running someday
and i hope they'll survive
this odd world
and stop running
someday
