Leon Bridges feat. Terrance Martin, ‘Sweeter’ (testo)

Hoping for a life more sweeter,

Instead I’m just a story repeating.

Why do I fear with skin dark as night?

Can’t feel peace with those judging eyes.

I thought we moved on from the darker days.

Did the words of the King disappear in the air,

Like a butterfly?

Somebody should hand you a felony.

Because you stole from me,

My chance to be.

Hoping for a life more sweeter,

Instead I’m just a story repeating.

Why do I fear with skin dark as night?

Can’t feel peace with those judging eyes.

The tears of my Mother rain rain over me.

My sisters and my brothers sing sing over me.

And I wish I had another day, but it’s just another day.

Hoping for a life more sweeter,

Instead I’m just a story repeating.

Why do I fear with skin dark as night?

Can’t feel peace with those judging eyes.
