Richard Pryor Addresses A Tearful Nation Lyrics

    Sometimes i think i've almost fooled myself
    Sometimes i think i've almost fooled myself--
    Spreading out my wings
    Above us like a tree,
    Laughing now, out loud
    Almost like i was free

    I look at you as the thing i wanted most
    You look at me and it's like you've seen a ghost¡º
    I wear the face
    Of all this has cost:
    Everything you tried to keep away from me,
    Everything i took from you and lost

    Lights shine above me, they're like your eyes above the street
    Lights shine below me, they're like stars beneath my feet¡º
    I stood on your shoulders
    And i walked on my hands,
    You watched me while i tried to fall
    You can't bear to watch me land

    Take me away, carry me like a dove
    Take me away, carry me like a dove¡º
    Love me like you're lying
    Let me feel you near,
    Remember me for trying
    And excuse me while i disappear
