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