Singing My Song - Victor Wooten

Walking down the street

People that I see

Turn around and walk the other way.

I don’t want no trouble

Stay in my own little bubble

That’s a game I don’t wanna play.

U can call me what u want.

I don’t even know your name.

But Oooo my dear

Won’t u hear me loud and clear?

I love u.

I love u just the same.

(Chorus) I’m just singing my song

Hoping we get along, someday.

(Can't we get along, just get along?)

Then we all will be free.

U be u I’ll be me, OK?

One says to the other

That u’re my brother

Just as long as u look like me.

It would be a little better

If we all would sing together,

Harmonize in the same key.

The day is coming soon,

The day we will all understand.

But until we do, I will keep loving u

And then I’ll see u in another land.

(Chorus)

Walking down the street one day

Everybody looked at me and turned the other way.

Tell me what did I do?

What did I say?

What, is my hair too long?

Did I do something too wrong?

Do u not like my song?

I know I sing out of tune.

I can auto fix it real soon.

I’m just a bass player not a singer.

Not a talker just a thinker.

I guess I’ll think for 2 beats.

1, 2 that was fun.

Now I’m done.

Why u have to call me that name?

Can’t u see that we’re all the same?

Well if u can’t see it who’s the blame?

Just because I’m darker and u’re lighter

Doesn’t make me wronger and u righter.

Sometimes I laugh and I don’t know why for

But I know I don’t wanna cry no more.

Uh Oh.

Gotta go.

Somebody’s knocking at my door.

And it’s time that we all get along

'Cause I’m tired of singing this song!

(Chorus)
