Boomerang

(album: War - 2016)

Someone wise told me once
To keep my chin held high
And be brave
I used to close my eyes
Bite my tongue
But now my fear
Has gone away

You held my head down
Didn't let me breathe
But look who's drowning now
You hear that loud sound
Screaming out and free
My voice was finally found

Boom baby
Hit ya like a boomerang
Tired of playing your game
What goes around will come
Around again
Boom baby
Thought I'd just run away
Karma's calling out your name
What goes around will come around
Again… like a boomerang

Thought I'd keep my mouth shut
Like I always did
I'd hide away
Finally had more than enough
I found the words I had to say

You held my head down
Didn't let me breathe
But look who's drowning now
You hear that loud sound
Screaming out and free
My voice was finally found

Boom baby
Hit ya like a boomerang
Tired of playing your game
What goes around will come
Around again
Boom baby
Thought I'd just run away
Karma's calling out your name
What goes around will come around
Again… like a boomerang

Took advantage of my heart
You were trouble from the start
But I let you in
Lied and always tore me down
Thought I'd never speak out
But I won't let you win
I won't let you win…
