Perpetual Motion

The cracks are showing, on my face
I didn¹t think that I was, that old my story is
I weathered every storm I, pulled it through
Falling by the wayside, I¹ve seen a few
But I never went down, never went down
I never will
Taken every single blow and countered
Never went down, never went down,
and better still
Look at my face and see your father
I¹m ready to take my turn
Taking the shot that I¹ve earned
Chance is what keeps me rolling
Rolling
Diamonds in my eyes
Oceans full of pride
Can't you see I¹m only human
I¹m in perpetual motion I¹m rolling, rolling
Can't you see I¹m only human
The cracks are showing, on my face
The well ain¹t empty, never out of place
It seems to be harder, for some maybe
And I won¹t play, the game of wait and see
But I never went down, never went down
I never will
Taken every single blow and countered
Never went down, never went down,
and better still
Look at my face and see your father
I¹m ready to take my turn
Taking the shot that I¹ve earned
Chance is what keeps me rolling
Rolling
Diamonds in my eyes
Oceans full of pride
Can't you see I¹m only human
I¹m in perpetual motion I¹m rolling, rolling
Can't you see I¹m only human
I don't fight I win, underneath it I'm human
And my pride is not a sin,
underneath it I'm human
and I respect my mistakes,
and decisions that I make
In time I¹ve earned my cake,
have my cake and then
I'll eat it
I¹m ready to take my turn
Taking the shot that I¹ve earned
Chance is what keeps me rolling
Rolling
Diamonds in my eyes
Oceans full of pride
Can¹t you see I¹m only human
I¹m in perpetual motion I¹m rolling, rolling
Can¹t you see I¹m only human
