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      '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      '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
