Jimmy saw the sun chase away the night |
|
It was a quarter past seven |
|
His body warm like the morning light |
|
Had to be in school by eleven |
|
He told himself what they had done to him |
|
That's why |
|
Jimmy never felt real sad |
|
If only someone could have lent a hand |
|
Things would have never turned out so bad |
|
Who knows why black flies just live for one day |
|
Who knows why |
|
Hey turn around |
|
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story |
|
Hey turn around |
|
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story now |
|
Always sat alone in the back of the class |
|
Because no one would take him |
|
Today he stood in front of the rest |
|
His hands were shaking |
|
Who could have known what |
|
Jimmy thought |
|
Never had a chance to speak his words out loud |
|
The flies were burning in his head till |
|
Jimmy let them all out |
|
Who knows why black flies just live for one day |
|
Who knows why |
|
Hey turn around |
|
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story |
|
Hey turn around |
|
It's time to wake up and go back to tell the story now |
|
It didn't pay to make fun of him |
|
Too late to say, "I'm sorry" |
|
No one would ever make fun of him |
|
You and I all the time |
|
Come with me |
|
Take my hand |
|
I will tell you when you're there |
|
Come with me |
|
Take my hand |
|
I will tell you when you're there |
|
Come with me |
|
Take my hand |
|
I will tell you when you're there |
