When I was just a boy  Granddaddy sat me on his knee  He told me that he loved me and that we were family,   We spoke about the world and all the possibilities  Then he held me in his arms  He said: "Be what you want to be"    He paved a way for me to follow  Uncharted terrain now had a lane  It's how I got over    When I became a man  Granddaddy said: "Come walk with me"  He said: "Being a man comes with responsibility  And always keep your word to the best of your ability"  When he looked me in my eyes  He said: "It's time to set you free"    He paved a way for me to follow  Uncharted terrain now had a lane  It's how I got over    He paved a way for me to follow  Uncharted terrain now had a lane  It's how I got over    He paved a way for me to follow  Uncharted terrain now had a name  It's how I got over
