Back in my hometown Watching the smoke it never stops I’m gonna live here when i’m older Been making a new sound and letting the people build it up I’m a believer in the progress I thought this was the life for me
CHORUS:
But you’ve gone pulled me off the shelf And kept your money to yourself And I hope you spend it wise Cutting corners won’t suffice Cutting corners won’t suffice
We built a ladder and climbed it up unto the top such a long way for us to drop The fact of the matter Can’t take away whats in your heart You’re feeling that its closer now You’ll find it easy to retrieve
CHORUS:
But you’ve gone pulled me off the shelf And kept your money to yourself And I hope you spend it wise Cutting corners won’t suffice Cutting corners won’t suffice
I know its everybody’s dream To live in full prosperity Your heart is open when you call me So call me out I know its everybody’s dream My blessed country tis of thee Your heart is open when you call me
CHORUS:
But you’ve gone pulled me off the shelf And kept your money to yourself And I hope you spend it wise Cutting corners won’t suffice We will not fall, anytime The hope comes back to organise us all Be kind, the hope is coming back into our lives
