This is an extremely powerful song. It is about Wyclef's relationship with his father, who is now deceased.
"So so you think you can tell
heaven from hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
do you think you can tell
Did they get you to trade
your heros for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change"
Now that his father is dead, Wyclef is asking him is his anger and frustration is now transformed in heaven.
"We're jus two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year
Runnin over the same old ground"
Here he is talking about how now that his father is dead, their sould cannot meet, but are trying to find eachother.
Wyclef's father ignited the fire that is his love of music. he is spreading this love, from the projects to the blocks.
