Ever since I was a little kid
I have always though
I could run faster than the wind
Stare up to the sky with open s***es
I could live and die
Man you can't find that in no book
You never find that in no book
Someone will drag you down
And try to knock you under
Hey mama said with her words of wonder
Don't matter 'cause it's in your soul
I have always felt
That I had to prove it to myself
No salvation from the firing line
A million dreams won't set you free
God knows there's something trapped in me
There's no refuge from the ride
No shelter ever saved a man his pride
Give you pain and never feed your hunger
I won't close my eyes when it rain and thunders
Don't matter 'cause it's in your soul
And when the night is overcome
And I've been racing down a road
That's got no trace, no face
If I could live by the words I've sung
And carry all the choices I've made
I swear, I swear, I'll be there
Hey mister, don't shadow box with me
'Cause I don't wanna someday be
an old man cursin' what I might have been
now I realize what I see
that the wind was never chasin me
and I don't feel so alone
I can close my eyes, I'm going home.
Behind the clouds the sun is shinin'
Some rain will fall, no use cryin',
got a picture in my head that won't let go of
young man running in search of,
count your blessings
'cause it's in your soul.
