When I was a young boy my father he said
Son, you're a man and you must learn how to stand up on you're own
And so I took what belonged to me and said I'll be back when I have grown
I set out one morning before the sun had kissed the sky
I turned my back towards my home and I never said goodbye
And as I put miles between myself and love I hung my head and cried
Oh, you came to me; impart in the early dawn
Now you beat it in my heart like a summer song
Oh, I never want to start if I could be wrong
I'm waiting for my place and it won't be long
I crossed through the valleys and I forded the streams
My heart it was aching and my back it was breaking, can't go on
Then a voice deep inside me told my heart and my body move along
I came to a mountain and I started to climb
With each step I took I felt a year pass between myself and time
And I knew I was older and my heart it was colder on my mind
Oh, you came to me; impart in the early dawn
Now you beat it in my heart like a summer song
Oh, I never want to start if I could be wrong
I'm waiting for my place and it won't be long
'Cause I never would have been the same without you
(repeat)
And when I returned you were waiting for me
You told me how you always knew all the things that a I would be
And before this is over there are things that i had for you to see
