Ba -boo, ba -da -boo, ba -ba -ya
People see me acting strange
They might say it's a burning shame
But the people don't realize
the bonds of air that I feel
they don't know how it is to be sad
I don't know who could be glad
My last shirt torn off my back
My shoes is down to my soles
They don't seem to realize
What really keeps me alive
It's because God is so great
They don't like to understand
People see me acting strange
They might say it's a burning shame
But the people don't realize
The bonds of air that I feel
So let them say I'm happy,
don't know how it is to be sad
I don't know who could be glad
My lashes torn on my back,
My shoes is down to my sock
And no place to lay my head,
I can't remember when I sleep in bed
