My story is a simple one to tell |
| [00:12.13] |
Popped out my momma's tummy 26th of January winter up in Milwaukee |
| [00:15.94] |
Twenty minutes later peein' on the doctor's shirt |
| [00:18.62] |
Pops makin' jokes sayin' "Look doc it works!" |
| [00:21.31] |
So the tell me anyways, I can't remember anything before pre-K |
| [00:25.17] |
It's all blurred together and each day my memory fades like worn leather |
| [00:29.04] |
But what I can recall is sweeter than warm weather with a cool breeze |
| [00:32.85] |
Saturdays were heaven, wake up watch cartoons from 7 straight to 11 |
| [00:36.72] |
Then it's outside to play whatever sport was in season |
| [00:39.44] |
My cousins they were older so that made me the weak one |
| [00:42.25] |
But it didn't stop me, all we did was play we made up our own games |
| [00:45.94] |
Rolled up socks and faked like |
| [00:47.81] |
they were hand grenades makin' forts out of couches |
| [00:50.12] |
Mom would come home mad at how messed up the house was |
| [00:52.95] |
I stayed out of trouble most of the time |
| [00:54.88] |
But when I got out of line Pops would smack my behind |
| [00:57.60] |
The wonder years are over now somehow I'm fully grown |
| [01:00.28] |
Still I fully know I didn't make it this far on my own |
| [02:05.47][01:02.80] |
|
| [02:05.81][01:03.15] |
There is no way to count all of the mistakes I have made |
| [02:10.57][01:07.79] |
And I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for Your grace |
| [02:15.59][01:12.93] |
And you're still here with me, You never gave up after all this time |
| [02:21.32][01:18.44] |
And I owe it all to You, You're the one that got me through |
| [02:25.77][01:23.14] |
You wrote my story |
| [01:24.02] |
|
| [01:24.26] |
Looking back on high school I see how foolish that I really was |
| [01:27.52] |
I thought I was the coolest dude there ever was |
| [01:30.36] |
'Til I went off to college and learned nobody there even knew who I was |
| [01:34.14] |
It all taught me that I fall short |
| [01:35.78] |
Like junior year when they cut me even though I left it all on the court |
| [01:39.32] |
I had to learn how to fail and to fall |
| [01:40.82] |
So I could learn how to get up shake the dust off walk and stand tall |
| [01:44.66] |
Learn how to call on the one who's been there through it all |
| [01:47.20] |
I remember when I got the phone call |
| [01:49.16] |
Freshman year in Virginia, my grandfather passed away |
| [01:52.19] |
Eight years after my grandmother guess he couldn't wait |
| [01:54.97] |
To see her on the other side at the funeral I cried |
| [01:57.63] |
So hard I never knew I'd hurt that bad inside |
| [02:00.13] |
But over time wounds heal and all that's remembered |
| [02:03.01] |
Is the love that we shared while together forever |
| [02:27.93] |
|
| [02:37.45] |
This is my story and I wouldn't change a thing |
| [02:39.17] |
I was put here for a purpose this was written by a King |
| [02:42.05] |
Was carefully designed, hand-crafted and made |
| [02:44.57] |
By the One who's never made a mistake |
| [02:46.38] |
I want to give all it takes from here on out to make up for lost time |
| [02:49.93] |
But what's done is done and I can't press rewind |
| [02:52.48] |
And all of my regrets are chasin' me from behind |
| [02:55.02] |
But the future's unwritten I'm racin' towards the finish line |
| [02:57.67] |
So from here on out everyday counts |
| [03:00.29] |
I know Your grace meets me no matter what the amount |
| [03:02.98] |
Despite that I'm hard-hearted, You gave me a clean slate |
| [03:05.48] |
And promised that You'd finish what you've started |
| [03:08.37] |
And even though a four minute long song can barely scratch the surface |
| [03:10.94] |
It's sure enough to show I'm far from perfect |
| [03:12.95] |
So thank You for the past, help me live in the present |
| [03:14.94] |
To prepare me for the future 'til my story ends |
| [03:18.13] |
