Back To The World - Curtis Mayfield (寇帝·梅菲)
Written by：Curtis Mayfield
Back in the world
Back in the world
Back in the world
Back in the world
Crawlin' through the trees
Stuck in mud up to the knees
Fightin' this damn war
Wonderin' if the Lord knows what it's for
Six long years stretch
And we boys was in a hell of a mess
I gotta keep my mind take it slow
Fightin' hard for what I don't know
I wanna get back home gotta get back home
Back to the world
I had a talk with little mom
Strenuous face as she began to hum
She said boy it's good to see ya
My prayers must've been with ya
And now that you're back and done
Let me tell ya son
The war was never won
The war was never won
In these city streets everywhere
You gotta be careful where you move your feet how you part your hair
Do you really think that God could never forgive this life we live
Back in the world
Back in the world
My my my my
It's so hard it's so hard it's so hard
This life is so hard
I've been beaten up and robbed
Soldier boy ain't got no job
Back in the world
Had a long stretch of sacrifice
Gettin' back home will be awful nice
Child your woman has long been gone
The doggone war just lasted too long
People don't give a damn
People don't give a damn
People don't give a damn
So I'm standin' here in future shock
It can give the mind an awful knock
Talkin' 'bout hard times hard times hard times
Back in the world
My my my my my my
It's so hard it's so hard
This life is so hard
I been beaten up and robbed
Soldier boy ain't got no job
Back in the world
Back in the world
Uh huh back in the world
Back in the world
My my my my
It's so hard it's so hard it's so hard
This life is so hard
Back in the world
Back in the world
Back in the world
Forgiveness instead of amnesty
Simple words that seem so clear to me
Forgive our country Mississippi Bay
Forgive your man wastin' love for hate
Truth from honesty is true
We'd don't seem to know what to do do
Yeah yeah yeah
Back in the world
