Em                          D        
I stand here a black man  I have no history
                                        Em
I was brought up in East Chicago And I grew up on the streets
                                            D
The chains around the playground were the chains around My heart
                                   Em
The brand upon my shoulder Well it reminds You who You are

                 D                     Em
And it all comes true Yes it all comes true
       D                                Em
Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on You
        C                   D               Em
And You think, What have I done? What can I do?
         C                 D
What You believe about Yourself
             Em
It all comes true

Em                          D    
I was just a young girl My mother called me 'Hon'
                                Em
My father was unhappy 'Cause I should have been His son
                                        D
They said, "Learn to be a waitress and learn to be a wife
                                        Em
And be thankful for a chance to live an ordinary life"

My life is a contradiction of sorrow and desire
                                  Em
I drag My heart across the ash to throw it on the fire
                           D
Maybe there's a reason and could there be a plan
                            Em
Or are we all just fools to think we'll understand

                 D                      Em
And it all comes true. Yes it all comes true
       D                                Em
