If They’re Shooting at You

[Verse 1]
So I said to you I'm not free
I got a mountain falling down on me
I got sickness and I've got doubts
All the people wanna scream and shout
I'm so tired, I'm always on my knees
But I'm cold, it's always January
In this house and on these streets
It's so grey, I can't take it
What happened to the life I knew?
Swept away (Where did you go?)

[Verse 2]
So I said to you I'm busy
I got jobs to do that would make you dizzy
And I'm juggling all my plates
Living far below my estimate
People have for me, I'm always failing
In my family life I'm always trailing

[Chorus 1]
"Come to me" you said, "Leave your home
They can't kill you in my hands
But if they try, don't take fright
If they're shooting at you, kid
You must be doing something right"
(Right, right, right, right, right)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 3]
All I want is for a bit of peace
A nice, warm house and for my family
To take me back because you know I miss them (You know I miss)
Miss my boys, I miss their mother, I'll kiss them (Mother last kiss)
But instead I'm running out of time (Out of time)
Out of air, I fear I must be dying (Must be dying)

[Chorus 2]
"Come to me" you said, "Leave your pain
They can't kill you in my head"
You're my son, you're my love
Gonna catch you gently, now you are with me

[Outro]
I got you now (Now, now, now)
I got you now (Now, now, now)
I got you now (Now, now, now)
I got you now (Now, now, now)
(I got you now)
