Richard Pryor Addresses A Tearful Nation |
| Sometimes I think I’ve almost fooled myself |
| Sometimes I think I’ve almost fooled myself-- |
| Spreading out my wings |
| Above us like a tree, |
| Laughing now, out loud |
| Almost like I was free |
| I look at you as the thing I wanted most |
| You look at me and it’s like you’ve seen a ghost— |
| I wear the face |
| Of all this has cost: |
| Everything you tried to keep away from me, |
| Everything I took from you and lost |
| Lights shine above me, they’re like your eyes above the street |
| Lights shine below me, they’re like stars beneath my feet— |
| I stood on your shoulders |
| And I walked on my hands, |
| You watched me while I tried to fall |
| You can’t bear to watch me land |
| Take me away, carry me like a dove |
| Take me away, carry me like a dove— |
| Love me like you’re lying |
| Let me feel you near, |
| Remember me for trying |
| And excuse me while I disappear |
