 Vers:
 Twenty-four years ago today  I was a baby born and
 That s the day I started singing  my song
 It wasn t long before I felt  the river water send a chill  into my bones
 They told  me, they re washin  me clean
this  is the blood to keep me cool  and serene
 They told  me, I gotta  believe
 And now today I swear to god
 I m gonna find out what they mean
  Cuz the privileged  life is taking  its toll
 I got  nobody no where  to go but
Maybe  it s just me  I m afraid of
 2x
 Vers:
 Twenty-four years I’ve been a man  I ve done the best I can and
 Now today I thought i d write  me a song
 It took some time to find the man  that I was trying to hide but
 Now I can finally say I found  my way home
 They told  me, they re washin  me clean
this  is the blood to keep me cool  and serene
 They told  me, I gotta  believe
 And now today I swear to god
 I m gonna find out what they mean
  Cuz the privileged  life is taking  its toll
 I got  nobody no where  to go but
Maybe  it s just me
Oh,  Yeah, Take  me away  mama
Take  me away, Take  me away
where  I gotta go
 4x
 They told  me, they re washin  me clean
this  is the blood to keep me cool  and serene
 They told  me, I gotta  believe
 And now today I swear to god
 I m gonna find out what they mean
  Cuz the privileged  life is taking  its toll
 I got  nobody no where  to go but
I  felt the wounds and stiches all under  my skin
 I ve got nobody else
Maybe  it's just me
Maybe  it's just me
Maybe  it's just me  I m afraid of
 Em B7 repeat until the end
