In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I can say this life is much better today
Everything turns right if wrong gets in the way
Yeah and I've got this feeling, it's something I find hard to explain
See, I wasn't looking but girl, I'm glad I fell in your way
Then she says, oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored
I can say the sun burns much brighter today
I can see my path though clouds darken my way
Yeah and I've got this feeling, it's something I find hard to explain
See, I wasn't looking, but girl, I'm glad I fell in your way
Then she says, oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored
She said she's tired of watching me just wilt and grieve
She said, "I'm like Jesus, I save those who do believe
Do you, do you believe?"
Yeah and I've got this feeling, it's something I find hard to explain
See, I wasn't looking, but girl, I'm glad I fell in your way
Yeah, she says, oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored
Oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored
Everything turns right if wrong gets in the way
Yeah and I've got this feeling, it's something I find hard to explain
See, I wasn't looking but girl, I'm glad I fell in your way
Then she says, oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored
I can say the sun burns much brighter today
I can see my path though clouds darken my way
Yeah and I've got this feeling, it's something I find hard to explain
See, I wasn't looking, but girl, I'm glad I fell in your way
Then she says, oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored
She said she's tired of watching me just wilt and grieve
She said, "I'm like Jesus, I save those who do believe
Do you, do you believe?"
Yeah and I've got this feeling, it's something I find hard to explain
See, I wasn't looking, but girl, I'm glad I fell in your way
Yeah, she says, oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored
Oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars, count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you live, count how you are now adored

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
