When I was a young man
I was riding really high
Not worrying about tomorrow
On myself I could rely
But then the fast life took me
And it knocked me down
Set my head spinning around
Wondering which way's up or down for sure
But I've come a long way
I've come a long, long, long, long way
For to see you Lord
In the light of day
I've wandered through that cold, dark night
Lived to see the morning light ok (ok)
I was tired and lonely and worn out by the fight
I wandered through the night time just searching for the light
Then a voice spoke softly
And it called my name
Set my feet back homeward bound
Had to turn my life around straightway
But I've come a long way
I've come a long, long, long, long way
For to see you Lord
In the light of day
I've wandered through that cold, dark night
Lived to see the morning light ok (ok)
But I've come a long way
I've come a long, long, long, long way
For to see you Lord
In the light of day
I've wandered through that cold, dark night
Lived to see the morning light ok (ok)
If you are a young man who's riding really high
With no thought for tomorrow 'cause your life's become a lie
When that voice speaks softly
And it calls your name
Better set your feet back homeward bound
Live to turn your life around so you can say
I've come a long way
I've come a long, long, long, long way
For to see you Lord
In the light of day
I've wandered through that cold, dark night
Lived to see the morning light ok (ok)
