*LYRICS*
My body is so tired
My shoulders they
Shake from constriction
Just once I need something to go right
I walk these streets alone
Cause I don't need anyone
Or anything
In this life
I just need something to go right
Straighten up spine so I can
Walk tall among everyone
I could be
Ambassador to life (Oo-Oh)
I just need something to go right
The day I was born
My grandfather stood by my bed
He had his face painted
Just like the Indians used to
He said
This boy will ride beside me
Until the day I die
Oh oh oo-oh oh oh
Oh-oh oh oh oh oh
Open up our eyes
Wide
So we can see more
Open up our eyes
Wide
So we can see more
Open up our eyes
Wide
So we can see more
