It's Just That I See Love As

I Moved Up Over Lower East Side And I Was Adopted By Eight Foster Parents; I Lived All Over New York City With These Parents, Man, Till I Was About Ten Years Old.

My Father Went Into The Armed Service And I Never Saw My Mother - I Don't Know What Happened To Her.

You See, I Went To The Sixth Grade And That Was The Highest I Ever Went.

Standing On A Street Corner Waiting For No One Is Power.

They, That Unnamed They, They've Knocked Me Down But I Got Up. I Always Get Up -- And I Swear When I Went Down Quite Often I Took The Fall; Nothing Moves A Mountain But Itself. They, I've Long Ago Named Them Me.
