So you crahed the plane
and there's hell to pay
I'm making it plain
I love you anyway
You made a fool
out of me today
I'm breaking the rule
I love you anyway
You threw the blame
what a role to play!
My story's the same
I love you anyway
You dealt the blow
and you burst the ball
I'm letting you know
I love you most of all
Magic we chase - only to find
it comes from a place higher than mind
Higher than dust, but only just
it hangs on the cusp
I can hear you scream
like a branded slave
It's only a drea
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 ghostâ€â€Â
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 feetâ€â€Â
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 doveâ€â€Â
Love me like you're lying
Let me feel you near,
Remember me for trying
And excuse me while I disappear
