We All Bleed Red

He's been though some situations
He'd rather do without
The tear rolling down his face onto the ground
now so old, feeling cold
What was it all about

He just can't comprehend the spite he still takes every day
He has respect for all those who can smile through the pain 
But why in this day & age does it still go on today
Education is the only way
Was it just the colour of  skin that held him back
Why is this still  going on, I can't get into my head
It don't matter if your skin is white or black
We all bleed red
We all bleed red
We all bleed red
We all bleed red
Wonders why his dreams never lived
When he was in his prime
Grew up in a neighbourhood 
Where you felt you were doing time
now so old, feeling cold
What was it all about

He just can't comprehend the spite he still takes every day
He has respect for all those who can smile through the pain 
But why in this day & age does it still go on today
Education is the only way

Was it just the colour of  skin that held him back
Why is this still  going on, I can't get into my head
It don't matter if your skin is white or black
We all bleed red
We all bleed red
We all bleed red
We all bleed red
 

84 and at the end of his life
In a world that showed no pity
His mama worked her fingers to the bone 
to feed her boy
A slave to the rich folk of the city

Was it just the colour of his skin that held him back
Why is this going on, I can't get into my head
It don't matter if your skin is white or black
We all bleed red

Now just as he's taking his last few breathes
He prays one last time in his head
That the young don't go through the same shit he did
And lives all their dreams instead
Coz it don't matter what the white man said
Live your dream instead
Because we all bleed Red

Was it just the colour of his skin that held him back (We all bleed red)
Why is this going on, I can't get into my head (We all bleed red)
It don't matter if your skin is white or black (We all bleed red)
We all bleed red (We all bleed red)

Was it just the colour of his skin that held him back (We all bleed red)
Why is this going on, I can't get into my head (We all bleed red)
It don't matter if your skin is white or black (We all bleed red)
We all bleed red (We all bleed red)

We All Bleed Red

Instrumental track IO,  from the Jupiter's Moon project, This is the Raw unmixed track

I'd been in bands down the years, been in fights with the bands, people who were supposed to be signing us, people who 'alledgedly' were our managers getting us no gigs whatsoever. 

The best band I was even in was Collixion (now with an S not an X). Just a local covers band, no deadlines, no fights, just 5 lads getting together in the studio, playing gigs and it was fun just to do the covers but my spine had gotten to such a state that I couldn't help with the equipment, started to struggle to get through the gigs, my mental state has always been on the edge and I got to a stage where I just did NOT want to do the last couple of gigs. I got tearful at the last one beforehand and then told the lads I had to step down but as I didn't want to hold them back or leave them in the lurch so to speak, I stayed until they found somebody and they've gone on since so best of luck to them.

Because of the spine, it's been a body blow and after 2 years of not doing a thing, I have finally recorded a couple of covers that I've recently deleted off here as they ain't perfect. 

Maybe I'll write again, I don't know
