mentana - outsider lyrics
outsider, he’s an outsider
he’s got it tattooed on his chest
drives a cab at night
then puts all his ghosts to bed
a rusted sword in an old suitcase
is all that he brought
a scar above his eye
a line no one dares to cross
you can fool the eye with american nights
but you know your name’ll never be in lights
you cannot change your father’s name
you cannot heal the hidden pain
he said, he was born
on the wrong side of the border
forgot the words to the song
he called homе
outsider, he’s an outsider
livеd 20 years uptown
still feels like a stranger
but tries to get along
jumped the fence, took his chance
freedom has her price
there are those he left behind
there are fraying ties that bind
knows the name of all the leaders
can sing the anthem, swear allegiance
you can’t uproot a grown tree
you can’t unfold the green leaves
he said, he was born
on the wrong side of the border
shuts his eyes, feels the breeze
sees the mountain, the sky around him
hopes someday he’ll get back home
and show his son where he was born
‘cause he will die on the wrong side of the border
down in the valley
flowers bloomed
