As I walk through the corners of Cooley High |
| [00:16.22] |
I gotta be thankful that I'm still alive |
| [00:18.85] |
I have a lot of thoughts like who the hell am I |
| [00:21.72] |
What is the truth and what is a lie? |
| [00:24.47] |
But I think about my life and everything is okay |
| [00:27.59] |
I gotta pave the way to a brighter day |
| [00:30.16] |
Cause it's really plain and simple when it came to me |
| [00:33.11] |
There's a lot of people just like me (like me) |
| [00:36.02] |
There's a whole lot just like me (like me) |
| [00:41.42] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [00:43.67] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |
| [00:46.54] |
When you comin home, I don't know when |
| [00:49.86] |
We'll get together then, you know we'll have a good time then |
| [01:01.70] |
1964, uhh! Here we go, aiyyo |
| [01:04.75] |
The child was born it was a beautiful day |
| [01:09.95] |
It was 1964, the 31st of May |
| [01:12.89] |
The girl gave birth to a baby boy |
| [01:16.01] |
He's not a burden, he's a bundle of joy |
| [01:18.76] |
She was just a young girl in her youth |
| [01:21.31] |
And her parents tried real hard to hide the truth |
| [01:24.52] |
Is there a chance for the baby to live? |
| [01:27.60] |
|
| [01:33.65] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [01:37.88] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |
| [01:40.76] |
When you comin home, I don't know when |
| [01:43.99] |
We'll get together then, you know we'll have a good time then |
| [02:00.11] |
It was 9 whole months inside of the womb |
| [02:04.10] |
Another long month in the hospital room |
| [02:06.95] |
Facin doom in a tomb cause the kid is alone |
| [02:09.73] |
But somebody came along and they took the kid home |
| [02:12.87] |
He came into the world like we all do |
| [02:15.77] |
But he never ever knew how he came through |
| [02:18.67] |
Do the best you can do if this happen to you |
| [02:21.60] |
|
| [02:28.95] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |
| [02:31.95] |
Little boy blue and the man in the moon |

When you comin home, I don't know when |

We'll get together then, you know we'll have a good |

Father is, the mother and the father is.. |

They give him lots of love and you know that it shows |

He's livin really well he has all that he needs |
| [03:04.14] |
He came into the world and he's gonna succeed |
| [03:07.10] |
It is a blessing to live in the light |
| [03:09.97] |
If nothing is wrong then something is right |
| [03:12.96] |
They say that life is a mystery |
| [03:15.81] |
And I just wanna know my history |
| [03:18.68] |
Understand that life is good to me |
| [03:21.64] |
That's the way it is so (let it be) |

Life is good to me, I'm in paradise |

| [03:46.48] |
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon |

Little boy blue and the man in the moon |

When you comin home, I don't know when |
