Not Alone

[Hook: Pilgrim] And if this should happen to you You are not alone (You are not alone) You are not alone (You are not alone) [Verse 1: Pilgrim] So when life gives chills and spits on your dreams See it won't sit still and you've got more bills than Hits and stones, break those bones Now you shoot for the goal but it goes oh no Close but wide at the post and the pain takes toll You finally head home but foretold you're to roam When poverty bites, animosity strikes You've been born on the wrong, side of the tracks When you swing new jack but they still won't wax And facts don't add so you know it smacks Of the lies and you try correct the defect In effect you reflect and you try to perfect See you've had just enough but it doesn't let up You scream "oh my God" but it's only just begun Sense the storm clouds roar and the big waves crash When you run and you dash but there's still no stash [Hook] [Verse 2: Pilgrim] So we drop more bombs than Bush and Obama Give you no peace like my peeps in Greece Cos there's kids walking on with no shoes on their feet Peeps on the streets with no food to eat But even then still peace is a concept dissed Abused and missed all for the greed By the sun we was kissed, voice small and still They screamed out cease, even still we preach It was legal on the ships while they flogged with whips Stealing art from the heart tore the minds apart See they made many martyrs and gas chambers So many questions no end to the answers We tell them justice, they give us what's this? Service and police, comes with the office Ask their fathers and tell their mothers The tales that we faced while we searched for the day [Hook] [Verse 3 - Pilgrim] Used to be a youngster, now we much older Made many friends, seen the world get colder It's a brand new day, pray don't be afraid Cos it's all a parade, burst through barricades Of the mind, of the times, blind their eyes can't find Open up, wake up, school daze are the kind Seen thousands fall to the left and the right Watched the scribes write lies while they plot crucified The authorities laughed and the con-men bragged Till the son of man came riding out of the sky So you face steep odds and your chance goes none There's no where to run and your mind cold numb Oh yes the word became flesh and it dwelt among men The one chose twelve, shepherds turned fishermen The sword or the pen, or freedom from sin Temptations within, prophecy assassins Crucified the messiah, segregated we pariah Isaiah, Jeremiah, sold and hid Zephaniah Build again Nehemaih, give some time to Hezekiah As light as a feather, but we tougher than your leather [Hook]
