And everything you want can't be got
No matter where I roam
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
All the superficial initials upon his clothes
No matter where I roam
It's written on the back of God's hand
And blessin' the world with another to test, test, test
Every time I see lovers walkin' by in the park
It's written on the back of God's hand
'Ey silky smoothness of a lovin' caress holdin' baby to breast
It's written on the back of God's hand
No matter where I roam
Livin' thing, livin' thing is beautiful
Ya see people are so beautiful in love
And make some people suicidal
Keep love in your soul
It's lovely, it's lovely
'Cause everything in life can't be nice
We pull him back into the fold
Cope with it, cope with it
It's written on the back of God's hand
He got strung out on the material
To see a little baby suckin' on his mama's milk
It's written on the back of God's hand
So many think it but never say it
But not lose hope
It's lovely, it's lovely, y'all
A baby's love leaves finger prints upon the heart
No matter where I roam
No matter where I roam
Or worst of all they might become a part of it
No matter where I roam, where I roam, y'all
Another reason for lovin' and tryin' stay out of prison
Oh yes, oh yes, bom, bom, I'd like to sing a little song
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
Like every little lake has little trees and boats
The economical can be demoniacal
Plantin' seeds and pickin' weeds for another season
No matter where I roam
No matter where I roam
'Cause every single soul is a poem
It's written on the back of God's hand
They might not make it like the youngest departed
I want to show you somethin' beautiful
It's written on the back of God's hand
It's written on the back of God's hand
Another reason for livin' another reason for givin'
I want to show you somethin' beautiful
No matter where I roam
It's written on the back of God's hand
'Cause every little song has little beats and notes
Oh no, another soul, has lost control
But the lessons on beein' patient be causing the pressure to rise
Close my eyes and I stop reminisce
No matter where I roam, where I roam, y'all
Right from the start in a world torn apart
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
Livin' thing, livin' thing is beautiful
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
No matter where I roam
"Why bring a child to this planet full of hatred?"
They make me wanna go Sprewell
And learnin' ways, to try to cope with it
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
And growing up in silence
It's written on the back of God's hand
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
Whoa oh, I know every single soul is a poem
Ya see moms and pops be copulatin'
No matter where I roam
Involved in it, perpetuating violence, violence
Every time I see my family locked in jail
Dedicated to the people who would like to sing along
It's written on the back of God's hand
Livin' thing, livin' thing is beautiful
Seein' things they don't know how to deal with
All people deserve a safe and warm home
That's why I'm reminded of life's precious moments
