(Ron Block/Moonlight Canyon Publishing, adm. by Bug Music, BMI). . I've seen hard times and I've been told. There isn't any wonder that I fall. Why do we suffer, crossing off the years.
And I've lived a dozen lifetimes in twenty-some-odd years. Got no use for trouble, got no use for tears. Can't you see it's killing me, I'm old before my time.
If I could have the world and all it owns. A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones. If all the earth were mine to hold. With wealth my only goal. . I'd spend my gold on selfish things.
The wind is blowing down the quiet river,. a shining road that carries you alone.. Baby boy my love will last forever.. If you're to live, I must give you up to God..
I been up and down before. Grief won't hold me any more. You're running out of games to play. I don't have to live this way. . Thought I loved you for awhile.
(one... two... three... four...). . When years seem like days to me,. No time on my hands.. I run away to a place in me to a faraway land.. . When home seems so far from me,.
(Ron Block). . Go on and lie I've heard it all before. You had no shame this pain I feel you've never known. The rain outside is shifting in the wind.
In this world I walk alone with no place to call my home. But there's One who holds my hand. The rugged road through barren lands. The way is dark, the road is steep.
As the world becomes entwined. In the lies from Satan's mind. A leader will arise to take the reins. Saying love will bring us peace. If you put your hope in me.
I've seen hard times and I've been told. There isn't any wonder that I fall. Why do we suffer, crossing off the years. There must be a reason for it all.
When years seem like days to me. No time on my hands. I run away to a place in me. To a faraway land. . When home seems so far from me. Heaven's lights look dim.
Mary was engaged to wed. A baby inside barred the way. Joseph was to make her leave. But things aren't always as they seem. . A baby in a manger lay. Helpless and poor to their eyes.
Seems I've always waited for someone. Almost like it was a part of me. I never seemed to find someone to lean on. Disappointment always brought me to my knees.
My father was an old man, he worked so hard and long. He asked me to believe that he had all that he could want. Holding up his hands he said, These hands have bled for you.
The more I try, the more I fall. I finally see the writing on the wall. The problem lives in what I see. A separate Him outside a separate me. . In a desert land of double mind.
I've called it quits a thousand times. But I've left your lies lying on my mind. I'm through with you, won't make a deal. I'm getting off this effort-wheel.
Where will we walk in heaven fair?. The streets are made of gold. Oh, what's beneath that shining path?. A dirt and gravel road. . The body is the earthly dust.
Heaven's Father, eternal Flame. Fulfill Your Word in Jesus' name. I'm reaching upward to the realms unseen. To hold Your Word in defiant belief. . Promise flowing through the grip of faith.
And I've lived a dozen lifetimes in twenty-some-odd years. Got no use for trouble, got no use for tears. Can't you see it's killing me, I'm old before my time.
