This Is Me
Cast Of Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not one single thing
Just workin' and livin'
To survive and to sing
Aw yeah
And I keep lookin' for that somethin'
To get this tightrope together
The weight of all my sins
No no no
And as far as I can say
As far as I know I'm not the only one
That's been lookin' for gold
And as far as I can tell
And as far as I can see
Not one single thing
Has ever been owed to me
The sky has started fallin'
And I'm not feelin' very good
People killin' for religion
Instead of livin' how they should
No no no no
I hope my prayers are worth a listen
'Cos they're all I have
God in the heavens
Shine upon us with love
Aw yeah
And as far as I can say
As far as I know I'm not the only one
That's been lookin' for gold
And as far as I can tell
And as far as I can see
Not one single thing
Has ever been owed to me
And as far as I can say
As far as I know I'm not the only one
That's been lookin' for gold
And as far as I can tell
And as far as I can see
Not one single thing
Has ever been owed to me
