It All Comes True Lyrics - Singles - John Mellencamp

Written by: John Mellencamp and George M. Green 

I stand here a black man I have no history 

I was brought up in East Chicago And I grew up on the streets 

The chains around the playground were the chains around my heart 

The brand upon my shoulder Well it reminds you who you are 

And it all comes true Yes it all comes true 

Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you 

And you think, What have I done? What can I do? 

What you believe about yourself 

It all comes true 

I was just a young girl My mother called me "Hon" 

My father was unhappy 'Cause I should have been his son 

They said, "Learn to be a waitress and learn to be a wife 

And be thankful for a chance to live an ordinary life"

And it all comes true Yes it all comes true 

Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you 

And you think, What have I done? What can I do? 

What you believe about yourself 

It all comes true 

My life is a contradiction of sorrow and desire 

I drag my heart across the ash to throw it on the fire 

Maybe there's a reason and could there be a plan 

Or are we all just fools to think we'll understand 

And it all comes true Yes it all comes true 

Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you 

And you think, What have I done? What can I do? 

What you believe about yourself 

It all comes true

And it all comes true Yes it all comes true 

Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you

What you believe about yourself 

It all comes true
