John Mellencamp John Mellencamp It All Comes True



I stand here a black man i have no history
I was brought up in east chicago and i grew up on the streets
The chains around the playground were the chains around my heart
The brand upon my shoulder well it reminds you who you are

Chorus:
And it all comes true yes it all comes true
Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you
And you think, what have i done? what can i do?
What you believe about yourself
It all comes true

I was just a young girl my mother called me "hon"
My father was unhappy 'cause i should have been his son
They said, "learn to be a waitress and learn to be a wife
And be thankful for a chance to live an ordinary life"

Chorus:
And it all comes true yes it all comes true
Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you
And you think, what have i done? what can i do?
What you believe about yourself
It all comes true

My life is a contradiction of sorrow and desire
I drag my heart across the ash to throw it on the fire
Maybe there's a reason and could there be a plan
Or are we all just fools to think we'll understand

Chorus:
And it all comes true yes it all comes true
Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you
And you think, what have i done? what can i do?
What you believe about yourself
It all comes true

And it all comes true yes it all comes true
Like a wheel inside a wheel it turns on you
And you think, what have i done? what can i do?
What you believe about yourself
It all comes true
