[Verse 1]

Where’s the time?

Where’s the time I wanted?

No gun or knife

Can get me where I really want it

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I owe myself a decent life of color

Nobody here is getting any younger

So here’s the line

I’ll step it up and cross her

Yeah I’ll cross her, yeah I’ll cross her

Ain't nothing easy

Before the flood gate breaks

[Chorus]

I’m gonna climb, I’m gonna move mountains (to the sea)

I’m gonna swim in youthful fountains (where waters deep)

Take a glory ride out of my mind

Till I’m out of time

When the black bird flies

I’m headed for the good side

When the black bird flies

I’m headed for the good side

[Verse 2]

What I need

What I need to know is

Why can’t the truth

Get a proper showing

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I owe myself a decent life of color

Nobody here is getting any younger

The sun is high, I'm walking on water

Yeah I’m walking on water

Ain't nothing easy

Before the flood gate breaks

[Chorus]

I’m gonna climb, I’m gonna move mountains (to the sea)

I’m gonna swim in youthful fountains (where waters deep)

Take a glory ride out of my mind

Till I’m out of time

When the black bird flies

I’m headed for the good side

When the black bird flies

I’m headed for the good side

When the black bird flies

I’m headed for the good side

[Break]

[Bridge]

Ain't nothing easy

Before the flood gate breaks

[Chorus]

I’m gonna climb, I’m gonna move mountains (to the sea)

I’m gonna swim in youthful fountains (where waters deep)

Take a glory ride out of my mind

Till I’m out of time

When the black bird flies

I’m headed for the good side

When the black bird flies

I’m headed for the good side

When the black bird flies

I’m headed for the good side
