He's on the run from a bad break His soles are worn down to the skin He's got the scars of a heartache So you can see everywhere he's been
And where he was he was the only one So he went looking for his mother's son
And with my family around me now It takes me to a new place When my family surrounds me now You see it on my face
But his own people didn't know him They couldn't take the bad with the good There's just so much he couldn't show them It left him sneaking 'round the neighborhood
He just wanted to be known and loved And sometimes flesh and blood is not enough
Who's my sister, who's my brother Who's my father, who is my mother Those who I cannot sell anything Those who cannot buy my love
