Jetta Blacks - Touch the Sky

Touch the Sky

Where you been, all these years an iron paradise
Eight by six box ain’t a place you should ever call home
I been hearing bout everythin’ that’s been goin’ wrong
But I don’t care- brother man keep keep keepin on
Don’t look surprised when I speak what’s on my mind
Cuz time been wastin, locked away on the other side
I wrote these words must encourage you to keep ya head
Forty years to life, forty years of strife, forty years of pain, forty years my brother freedom taken

Chorus
Only in a dream he can touch the sky, only in a dream
He can hold his mama he can see his papa
But only in a dream

I can see life is tough the road is rough sometimes
You can’t sit still on the run proving you the one
Sellin drugs, buying guns, slinging in the wild west
Now you don’t care which side is the best, east or west?
Cuz ya a girl she got shot one night
The cops think it’s you baby boy what you gonna do?
Cuz justice is blind the one who did it won’t do a stitch of time
But keep your head high,
Forty years to life means forty years of strife
Cause you can’t take back what happened in past
Lord God I pray, baby boy, we meet again someday
Cause the pain in ya momma’s eye is enough to make a gangster cry keep your head high and look up, dream, touch the sky

Chorus
Only in a dream he can touch the sky, only in a dream
He can hold his daughter
He can see son but only in a dream
He can touch the sky


Only in my heart can I ever see ya face
Only in my dreams will I ever see ya smile
Only in a dream can we ever touch the sky
