|
Like a breath of fresh air and the wind at my back |
|
Toe to heel with strong strides taking miles off the map |
|
In this journey called life where I've walked so far |
|
Under the heat of your sun and the shine of your stars |
|
Step by step I've crept, I've crawled, and I've run |
|
Felt the palm of your hand and the barrel of death's gun |
|
I ran for my life stood strong through strife |
|
From a miscarried life to waiting for my wife like |
|
I heard it sung a thousand strong all night long |
|
Heard heaven's bell going something long, it's like |
|
I've been there in total despair |
|
Now I've tasted and I've touched |
|
A breath of fresh air |
|
|
|
'Cause I do live and I hope and pray |
|
For something better and brighter today |
|
For something there for something there |
|
|
|
[CHORUS:] |
|
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world |
|
But you gave me more love that set me free |
|
'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world |
|
But you have gave me more love that set me free |
|
|
|
Like road trips on open roads |
|
Windows down sun setting and fresh new clothes |
|
Shoes off so you can stop reflect on all these paths unfolding |
|
With these staffs that are pulling in this world so controlling |
|
It's not always best to take the interstate |
|
Sometimes the most is on the windy coast way |
|
'Cause wide is the path pulling astray |
|
Narrow is the truth in these days |
|
But all the while I hear a still small voice say |
|
You climbed the cliffs rocked the desert on your very own |
|
Swam the seas, sang the songs with the sweetest tones |
|
The beaches you've combed, moons you've roamed the love you've shown |
|
But all the while a voice calls you home |
|
|
|
'Cause I do live and I hope and pray |
|
For something better and brighter today |
|
For something there for something there |
