[Verse 1]
Daddy's shoes in another hallway
Pictures on walls I ain't supposed to see
Got a brother who don't know my name
Living in rooms so far from me
Lord, these walls keep secrets deep inside
Two different homes where my old man resides
[Chorus]
Distant rooms, separate lives
One man's truth, wrapped in lies
Distant rooms across the sea
Another family just like me
Oh Lord, just like me
[Verse 2]
Mama cries in the dead of night
While another woman holds him tight
Singapore's lights burn far away
Where my blood runs through stranger's veins
Lord, this ain't how family should be
But the blues don't judge, they just let me breathe
[Chorus]
Distant rooms, separate lives
One man's truth, wrapped in lies
Distant rooms across the sea
Another family just like me
Oh Lord, just like me
[Bridge]
Some nights I wonder 'bout that other son
Does he got daddy's eyes, does he know where he's from?
These blues run deep, Lord, they run so deep
Through both our veins while our mothers weep
[Outro]
Distant rooms, that's where we stay
Living lives that never fade
Lord have mercy on us all
Standing in these separate halls
