Keep it locked up inside Don't talk about it Talk about the weather Can't see the light
When I step into the light My arms are open wide When I step into the light My eyes searching wildly
I see you young and soft oh little baby Little feet, little hands, little baby One year of crying and the words creep up inside Creep into your mind So much to say
...Oh, man, oh how I wish I didn't smoke or drink to reason with my head...
I don't feel like I'm standing in a position where I have some right above other people to say what I think. We should all be talking to each other about what we think is important - whether we're in politics, or whether we're checking out at a grocery store. We shouldn't put walls up between each other.
It's funny, I get a little quieter with time. I don't want to chase my tail and one day repeat myself and repeat myself and one day have kids going to college and not have memories that I should, because I was too busy doing my thing.
I use God in my songs a lot but I don't have a relationship. I don't know what that means.
I go back to South Africa at least once a year, sometimes twice, and usually for a month. And probably, I'm guessing, I'll spend more time back there as I get older.
I think we should all talk to our enemies and talk to our friends. Talk! That's the only way we'll find solutions.
In your eyes, I see what's on my mind.
I'll be back 'round again, yes, I'll walk in time with you, old friend. And we'll find that place that we had danced in so long ago.
I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on.
When I was a kid growing up in New York, I was pretty unaware of racism. I think when we're young - before we lose our innocence - we're sort of unaware of the more flawed qualities of each other.
