 A lesson, some kind of hidden essence To show me life is precious, and I guess it's true But to tell the truth I really never knew till I met you See I was lost and confused, twisted and used I knew a better life existed, but thought that I missed it My lifestyle's wild, I was living like a wild child Trapped on a short leash, paroled on police files So yo, what's happening now? I see the sun breaking down into dark clouds And a vision of you, standing out in the crowd So come my lady, come, come my lady
