I have to say
I'm getting closer every day
In every way
You said it right
You gotta keep it in your sight
Or you'll go blind
Take a moment and look around
It's what I've found
What's keeping me down
It's alarming, I found
From the start I was down
Just like everyone else
I've got a glimpse of the light
When I turned to the sky
Now I think I can tell
Tell my fate from some
Hole in the ground
It's what I found
What's keeping me down
If I could be
In control of my destiny
What would it be?
Oh yeah
So understand
That what I do
Is what I am
Not what I can
Oh yeah
Take a moment and
Break it on down
It's what I found
What's keeping me down
It's alarming, I found
From the start I was down
Just like everyone else
I've got a glimpse of the light
When I turned to the sky
Now I think I can tell
Tell my fate from some
Hole in the ground
It's what I found
What's keeping me down
(What's keeping me down)
Yeah yeah yeah
What's keeping me down
I'm getting closer every day
In every way
You said it right
You gotta keep it in your sight
Or you'll go blind
Take a moment and look around
It's what I've found
What's keeping me down
It's alarming, I found
From the start I was down
