JOHN MELLENCAMP - It All Comes True lyrics

rate me

I stand here a black man I have no history<br>I was brought up in east chicago and I grew up on the streets<br>The chains around the playground were the chains around my heart<br>The brand upon my shoulder well it reminds you who you are<br><br>Chorus:<br>And it all comes true yes it all comes true<br>Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you<br>And you think, what have I done? what can I do? <br>What you believe about yourself<br>It all comes true<br><br>I was just a young girl my mother called me hon<br>My father was unhappy 'cause I should have been his son<br>They said, learn to be a waitress and learn to be a wife<br>And be thankful for a chance to live an ordinary life<br><br>Chorus:<br>And it all comes true yes it all comes true<br>Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you<br>And you think, what have I done? what can I do? <br>What you believe about yourself<br>It all comes true<br><br>My life is a contradiction of sorrow and desire<br>I drag my heart across the ash to throw it on the fire<br>Maybe there's a reason and could there be a plan<br>Or are we all just fools to think we'll understand<br><br>Chorus:<br>And it all comes true yes it all comes true<br>Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you<br>And you think, what have I done? what can I do? <br>What you believe about yourself<br>It all comes true<br><br>And it all comes true yes it all comes true<br>Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you<br>And you think, what have I done? what can I do? <br>What you believe about yourself<br>It all comes true
