water's white
the air is thin
the mood is envy it's in everything
the ground is cold
the tree is young
the blade is heavy
but you still swing
you still swing
i'm not going back to the old country
know if you don't want me
the past is yellow
the heart is blue
you tried to break me but i conquered you
conquered you
i was little
but i was great
you were the church that abused my faith
i never prayed
down on my knees
i face my judgment standing on my feet
on my feet
i'm not going back to the old country
no if you don't want me
the past is yellow
the heart is blue
you tried to break me but i conquered you
conquered you
and as i sail around the world
like a king with a silver ray
i'm a man from black gold
i was saved by a girl
that came in like the wind from the gulf of mexico
i'm
gonna
na na na
the future past
and so did fear
who i am now was never there
