Testo Poor Boy - Mat Kearney
Testo della canzone Poor Boy (Mat Kearney), tratta dall'album Playlist: The Very Best Of Mat Kearney
Like a breath of fresh air
And the wind at my back
Told to hear with strong strides
Take the miles off the map
And 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've ran for my life
Stood strong through strife
From a miscarried life
To waiting for my wife life
I heard this song a thousand strong all night long
Heard heaven's bell gong
Something long
It's like I've been there in total despair
And 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 new
For something new
Cause I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But you would give me more love
And that set me free
Cause I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But you would give me more love
And that set me free
Like road trips and open roads
Windows down, sun's setting
And fresh new clothes, shoes off
So you can stop, reflect
And all these paths unfolding
With these staffs that are pulling
And 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 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, 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 new
For something new
Cause I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But you would give me more love
And that set me free
Cause I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But you would give me more love
And that set me free
Like a coming of age
On the road less traveled
From the concrete streets
To the backwoods gravel
From the cage to the stage
As my wings unravel
You won the war though I'm still fighting battles
Since I've hoped and I've called
I've ran and I've stormed
I've hung up and I've called
I've laughed and I've bawled
But through it all I'm standing tall
Cause I heard your call
Sing it out y'all
Cause I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But you would give me more love
And that set me free
Cause I was just a poor boy
Living in a poor world
But you would give me more love
And that set me free
Cause I was just a poor boy
I do believe and I do receive
And I still believe in something for me
And something for them to see your grace in your family
For something I hope and I pray today
That you would bring the better and brighter ways
For something that helps to bring me back
For something that helps to take up the slack
Cause I want to know you
Cause I want to know you
The steeper and the ocean in my heart
