《To Make Me Who I Am(Album)》歌词

[00:00:00] To Make Me Who I Am - Aaron Neville

[00:00:15] I've walked through this world sometime without a friend

[00:00:22] My life has been up and down been close to an end

[00:00:29] I've been through the mill and I've paid my dues

[00:00:36] Walked so many miles in different peoples shoes

[00:00:43] But I've been through the fire and I've walked in the rain

[00:00:50] I've felt the joy and endured the pain

[00:00:57] Once I was a schemer but I always was a dreamer

[00:01:10] But it took me who I was and where I've been

[00:01:18] To make me who I am

[00:01:26] I've met a lot of lost souls in the bowels of hell

[00:01:33] Traveled some crooked roads and got some stories yet to tell

[00:01:41] I've shot up with the junkie in piss stench halls

[00:01:48] Broken bread with the devil fallen on my knees to God

[00:01:54] Some days I was blessed some nights I was damned

[00:02:01] But I always tried to lend a helping hand

[00:02:09] Once I was a deceiver now I am a believer

[00:02:22] But it took me who I was and where I've been

[00:02:30] To make me who I am

[00:02:38] Oh I've seen the little children all strung out on dope

[00:02:45] No one to care about them living without hope

[00:02:52] But I've been lucky that I always had a song

[00:02:59] I'll sing it with compassion to try to right the wrong

[00:03:06] Once my life was wretched but why should I regret it

[00:03:19] 'Cause it took me who I was and where I've been

[00:03:27] To make me who I am

[00:03:35] This is dedicated to my friends in jail

[00:03:38] For my brother Jake who had to ride the rail

[00:03:41] For my friend Roonie and Melvin who were so dear

[00:03:45] They were so misunderstood but I wish they were still here

[00:03:49] To hear this song I sing from my heart

[00:03:52] They're forever in my soul even though we had to part

[00:04:03] Once I was a deceiver now I am a believer

[00:04:16] But it took me who I was and where I've been

[00:04:24] To make me who I am

[00:04:32] God said I forgive you wipe away the scars

[00:04:45] 'Cause I know it took who you were

[00:04:49] And where you came from to make you who you are

[00:04:59] 'Cause I know it took who you were

[00:05:03] And where you came from to make you what you are
