Brian
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All my life I've been runnin' scared
Feelin' shut out, no one cared
Not my mother, not my brother
Crazy beatings by my father
A-ooh a-ooh
Music's been my saving grace
Been my ticket to a better place
Brought me riches, brought me fame
Many people know my name
A-ooh A-ooh
My old friends who knew me when
Say "Brian you've come a long, long way"
Thank you, thank you wo wo-o-o-oh
My cousins say I ain't the same
Criticize I change my game
They're not happy 'cause I'm different
More creative, independent
A-ooh A-ooh
My old friends who knew me when
Say "Brian you've come a long, long way"
Thank you, thank you
Thank you, Thank you
I've decided to change and grow
Taste the new and release the old
Those who love me, they know I'm tryin'
Livin' brave instead of dyin'
A-ooh a-ooh
I've decided to change and grow
Taste the new and release the old
Those who love me, they know I'm tryin'
Livin' brave instead of dyin'
A-ooh a-ooh
