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 CHORUS Thanks to thudord@yahoo.com
