Im a son of as prophet but a fatherless child
An ace in the hole but the jokers gone wild
A watchman's friend but my boat keeps sinkin
In the lions den I can't get much sleepin but I try
And I try and I try
Just don't think I'm going to make it baby, oh no
At the touch of your hand
It's just not the Promised Land
I'm a water from the well but there's a hole in the bucket
I'm a rich man's friend but I don't really want it
I'm a lonely boy looking for his lover
But it's hard to see when your working under cover
