Lyrics:

Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax and must be mine
The fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back cos you know what you might see

Look into the wall of my mind's eye
I think I know, but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good-looking but I'm someone's child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe

I met my maker
I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"

All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, yeah

I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
Get up off the floor and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me 

Interpretation:

Step off the train all alone at dawn
Back into the hole where I was born
The sun in the sky never raised an eye to me
The blood on the trax and must be mine
The fool on the hill and I feel fine
Don't look back cos you know what you might see

Journeying into the mind to a place where you have
been before, that molded you. A place where nobody
bothers you , a secluded place. There are signs
of struggle from the past visits visible but now
being able to take on whatever would be thrown
on his way. There is no point in looking back
as all the things that has already happened is
in the back burner, that is required to proceed
further on a cleaner slate.
Look into the wall of my mind's eye
I think I know, but I don't know why
The questions are the answers you might need
Coming in a mess going out in style
I ain't good-looking but I'm someone's child
No-one can give me the air that's mine to breathe
The mind is awakened from deep slumber and there
are facts & tribulations to make sense off.
There are no many answers to the questions of
life but if you try hard enough to seek answers
to the questions- it is better to seek the work
that seems remotely close to the answer. This in turn
would solve the puzzle. Like all great problems
there exists an eligant and at most times simple
solutions.
The world will judge you anyway, all you can do is try
to be right by yourself. There are plenty of people
like you, for most of us nothing makes us special.
We are not owed anything by anyone, if we need something
as simple as the air or freedom to exercise your right
you need to fight for it and at time prove your worth it. 

I met my maker
I made him cry
And on my shoulder he asked me why
His people won't fly through the storm
I said "Listen up man, they don't even know you're born"
God or divine power looking down from above, would be
in shock and possibly sad by his creation i.e this world.
May be wondering how and why it all failed so miserably.
People do not even remember or know him, there is no faith.
Not just in God but people have lost faith in humanity
and resorted to become the majority of whom loot and plunder
may it be wealth or natural resources. All done for the
sole purpose of survival.

All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
All my people right here, right now
D'You Know What I Mean?
Yeah, yeah

I don't really care for what you believe
So open up your fist or you won't receive
The thoughts and the words of every man you'll need
Get up off the floor and believe in life
No-one's ever gonna ever ask you twice
Get on the bus and bring it on home to me

It does not matter what your beliefs are we all come
from the same planet, uniting ourselves for a common
purpose is what is required of us. Giving up on our
differences and devoting ourselves to the greater common good
would help us all prosper. It is impossible to succeed without
the help of others, without the contributions of others in your
life. So awaken from your sleepy dream and make a difference in
other people's life. It is a request, if you stick to it it would
benefit you and your family and the world.
