[Intro]
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
When the light has gone away
And it hurts to face the day
Your old man was just the same
You ain't know to turn the page
(All along, all along, all along)
[Chorus]
You can see the fire on the mountain
Many men are victim to the canyon
I don't see nobody takin' action
Many men are victim to the canyon
[Verse 2]
This whole world has got me cryin'
See my teardrops on the floor
All you think about is dyin'
Right now, you've got to go, oh, oh (Yeah)
[Chorus]
You can see the fire on the mountain
Many men are victim to the canyon
I don't see nobody takin' action
Many men are victim to the canyon (Ooh)
You can see the fire on the mountain
Many men are victim to the canyon
I don't see nobody takin' action
Many men are victim to the canyon
[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(The canyon)
He's a sad boy, don't be mad, boy
'Cause you never had a dad, boy, can't deny, boy
(The canyon)
So you hide, boy, gonna die, boy
Gettin' harder to deny, boy, gonna die, boy
(I knew it all along, all along)
[Chorus]
You can see the fire on the mountain
Many men are victim to the canyon
I don't see nobody takin' action
Many men are victim to the canyon, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Fire in your head, lonely in your heart
Rip the world apart, rip the world apart
Fire in your head, lonely in your heart
Rip the world apart, rip the world apart
Fire in your head, lonely in your heart
Your heart, your heart
[Outro]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
My soul, lady, levitate me
Take me to the sky
My soul, lady, never gave me
Through my darkest nights
My soul, lady, levitate me
Take me to the sky
My soul, lady, never gave me
Through my darkest nights
Now, I'm comin' out of the dark
Now, I'm comin' out of the dark
Now, I'm comin' out of the dark
