Taken

Night-time i stage my street show
Love for the money that's my cash flow
No i don't get scared when i walk alone
I have been on this beat enough to know
That when shit happens it is just your turn
So you deal with it and it happens everyday
I don't know quite where i belong
So when they come i freely give myself away
Walkabout - a very different kind
Walkabout - a very different place and time
I stand underneath street lights dreaming of the moon
It is rising in a desert a life i never know
Taken away and now i'm walking by myself
When you grow up in institutions
You make your friends but love you never know
So when i found my blood ran from the desert
I knew it was somewhere i had to go
I went to the people there
I lost and found myself on either side
Something deep down just don't feel right
So i walk about this country
And i walk about these streets to find where my heart lies.
