Take, take a look at the sky Sometimes your heaven seems so far away Take, take a look under here Where deprivation turns into decay I´ve stood under this rain
Felt it seep into my brain I´ve shut my eyes and crawled around this mud I´m scared of growin´ old I shiver when I´m cold Don´t you think I bleed the same blood
I, I could´ve been you You could´ve been me One small change that shapes your destiny If you want the proof Cut me and you´ll see I could´ve been you You could´ve been me
Wait, wait before you turn off Maybe there´s a chance we can relate Wait everybody turns on Why deny a fact that´s so innate
It´s not so easy anymore They way you used to keep score Not so black and white the color of your sin Take a walk inside my shoes A path I didn´t choose Spend the night inside of my skin
I, I could´ve been you You could´ve been me One small change that shapes your destiny If you want the proof Cut me and you´ll see I could´ve been you You could´ve been me
Change is turning into fear Fear is melting into hate With hate you justify your crime
A crime compassion can erase Erase erase
Touch, touch what I feel And know I believe everything I say So go, go if you must Remember one thing as you walk away
I, I could´ve been you You could´ve been me One small change that shapes your destiny If you want the proof Cut me and you´ll see I could´ve been you You could´ve been me
