Lyrics
What I’ve Been Told
by John Comerford
I never been to China or to sunny Carmel, I never been to heaven where the angels all dwell
But I’ll just bet that once I get there it’s such a sight to behold
I don’t know it for certain, but it may be, ‘cause It’s What I’ve Been Told
Everybody’s thinking that they’ve got it so good, we’re all born the same, but not in this neighborhood
You know I guess they’ll probably catch me, but fortune favors the bold
I don’t know it for certain, but it may be, ‘cause It’s What I’ve Been Told
They give you no warning, you got to be quick, the bullets are flying, the rumors are thick
But If you make it past the fences, the streets are paved with diamonds and gold
I don’t know it for certain but it may be ‘cause It’s What I’ve Been told
West meets East and East meets West, the only way to play it man is close to your chest
You got to take your chances, and chances are they’re already sold
I don’t know it for certain, but it may be ‘cause It’s What I’ve Been Told
I don’t know it for certain, but it may be ‘cause It’s What I’ve Been Told
I can’t say it’s for certain, but it may be ‘cause It’s What I’ve Been Told
