[Ab] [Db] [Eb]
[Db] This is Burji Barrington and [Ab] I've got something [Db] special to say [Bbm] with my dear friend who is my pen.
[Gb] [F]
[Ebm] Oh Lord, all right, [Gb] yeah.
[F]
[Ab]
[Db]
Here I go again, just me and [Bbm] my pen.
I'm without a friend
They have all [Gb] turned and [C] gone and [Ebm] left me now on my lonesome journey
A few [Gb] things in [Bb] life concern [Ab] me.
One is life
The other is how we live it [Db] Yeah
[Eb]
[Db] Uncle Bob say time will tell
We may not read and [Eb] write so [Bbm] well
Our senses are elevated within
They [Gb] could not [Bb] fool [Ebm] us
Show me unto those who despise
They love ones will [Eb] always be [Ab] precise
Is that life?
Is that the way to live it?
[Db] Yeah
Earth has its boundaries
Sky has no [Eb] limits
[Bbm] Be the best in life
Put [Gb] everything [F] in it
[Ebm] Let no one stand in your way
There's just one law to obey
[Ab] That's morality
And protects your sanity [Db] Oh
Here I go again
Just me and my [Bbm] pain
I'm without a friend
They have all [Gb] turned and [Bbm] gone and [Ebm] left me
Upon my lonesome journey
A [Gb] few things in [Ab] life concern me
One is life
The other is how we live it Oh
[Gb]
[F] And when all is gone
And everything becomes [C]
red
[Bbm] What's it all about?
Oh
Is it fortune [Ab] or [Ebm] fate?
[Fm] It's not fate
There is just this equality
[A] [F] And our human rights
[Bbm] I'm sick and tired of watching
Our [Bb] children pay the price
[Fm] Lord, Lord, [Gb] Lord Children
They cry a solemn tear
[Ab] And I wonder if they hear
I wonder if [Db] they care [Ebm] Oh
[Db] Here my ghost [Ab] again
[Db] Just me [Eb] and my [Bbm] pain
I'm without a friend
They have [Gb] all turned and [Bbm] gone and [Ebm] left me
Upon my [Gb]
lonesome [Ebm] journey
A few [Gb] things in [F] life [Ab] concern me
One is life
The other is how we live it
The other is how we live it [Db] Oh
Uncle Bob say time will tell
To gain a tree and write [Bbm] so well
My sense is already painted within Oh
A [Gb] cougar's [Bbm] fool
[Ebm] A scorpion to those who despise
Why deny I have my [Ab] rights in that life?
Is that the way you live it?
Oh
[F] And when all is gone
And everything becomes plain
[Bbm] What it's all about Oh God
Is it fortune [Ab] or [Ebm] fame?
[F] And what of just this equality
Man's human rights

Our children pay the [Ab] price
