_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ Black boy holds his head [G] and cries.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ There's no comfort for him [Em] as they pass him by. _ _
Trying to find the reason [G] why. _ _
_ [Am] Little wings don't take [Em] the sky.
_ _ _ Boy black, world white, hope high, short [G] sight, saltine, bad taste, high walls, he hides his [Am] face.
No place, no home, no love, [Em] alone, still sees the light but it slowly fades with the passing night.
His vision blurred, his dream [G] deferred, cry in his hands, tears dry and [Am] turn to plans with
a tough gong and a gypsy.
Hey dude, [Em] come get me, come with me, yo this me, between a rasta and a hippie like.
Oh, why you look so?
[G] _ _ Happiness come back I [Am] say.
Happiness is yours one [Em] day.
_ _ _ _ Black boy holds his head and [G] cries.
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ There's no comfort for [Em] him as they pass him by. _
_ Trying to find the reason _ [G]
why.
_ _ [Am] Little wings don't take [Em] the sky. _ _ _ _
Mama I want to sing, mama I want to play, mama I [G] want to fly, I want to inspire all
the little wings with more than little dreams but little means it [Em] seems that literally relief
can't be seen, I mean tall is the order, faith can't be shorter, caution be damned, I'm a
slam like I was water, [Am] no mortar and brick, no war, ignoring the mix, no more than sharpening
[Em] sticks, hardening grips and getting at it, I had it, _ living beneath my purpose, [G] taking
care of a dog and ponies got me feeling [Am] worthless but I'm worth more so I work more and tilt
towards the sky.
[Em] Take a breath and I say a prayer and I spread my wings and fly, I was taking time but I'm
making rhymes to find the reasons [G] why.
All these jokers jacking diamonds while I'm minding my mind and [Am] I done bled tears and
I shed fears trying to find a design, [Em] I slow up, look in the mirror and I found a divine
saying oh why you [D] look so, [G] _ happiness come back I [Am] say, happiness is yours [Em] one day. _ _ _
_ Black boy holds his head [G] and cries.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ They both comforted him [Em] as they passed him by, _ _ helped him find the reason [G] why. _ _
_ [Am] Little me, it's time [Em] to fly. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[Bm] I know [Am] _ [A] Molly was a good, good, good, [Bm] good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good,
good man.
