I had a dream when I was young
That someday I would become
The one that stood up there and sang the songs
Someone gave me an old guitar
It wasn't much but it was a start
Of a road that I would soon be travelin' on
But I played out my dream and now it's gone
Suddenly my whole world changed
My directions and priorities were not the same
A light appeared inside my heart
The war inside is over, I could never be apart
(chorus)
If I could live to be a thousand years
I could never learn how
To love like You love me
If I could learn everything there is to learn
I could never learn how to love like You love me
But I'll try the best I can
It's a neverending journey
To learn to love the way that You love me
I wear my tears like the clown
I wear a painted on frown
Sometimes I just can't show the way I feel
I wanna wear my heart out on my sleeve
And hope that you see Jesus, not me
I'm just not the man this world wants me to be, no
(chorus)
I say that I would die for my son
But faced with that decision, would I stay or would I run
Your love is not limited by sin
For this there is no measure, no beginning or no end
(chorus)
If I could live to be a thousand years
I could never learn how
To love like You love me
If I could learn everything there is to learn
I could never learn how to love like You love me
But I'll try the best I can
It's a neverending journey
It's a neverending journey
It's a neverending journey
To learn to love the way that You love me
That someday I would become
The one that stood up there and sang the songs
Someone gave me an old guitar
It wasn't much but it was a start
Of a road that I would soon be travelin' on
But I played out my dream and now it's gone
Suddenly my whole world changed
My directions and priorities were not the same
A light appeared inside my heart
The war inside is over, I could never be apart
(chorus)
If I could live to be a thousand years
I could never learn how
To love like You love me
If I could learn everything there is to learn
I could never learn how to love like You love me
But I'll try the best I can
It's a neverending journey
To learn to love the way that You love me
I wear my tears like the clown
I wear a painted on frown
Sometimes I just can't show the way I feel
I wanna wear my heart out on my sleeve
And hope that you see Jesus, not me
I'm just not the man this world wants me to be, no
(chorus)
I say that I would die for my son
But faced with that decision, would I stay or would I run
Your love is not limited by sin
For this there is no measure, no beginning or no end

If I could live to be a thousand years

To love like You love me
If I could learn everything there is to learn
I could never learn how to love like You love me
But I'll try the best I can
It's a neverending journey
It's a neverending journey
It's a neverending journey
To learn to love the way that You love me
