Lyrics
And so I?ll thank you for the time you
Found me in the field
Hiding in the grass that grew so high?
I thought that I was safe from prying eyes
But you found me.
And so I?ll thank you for the honor and the music
And the oil you poured upon my head.
I must admit that at the time,
if you had asked me,
I would have said I was the wrong one.
For who am I, but just a little boy
In the body of a man?
Chorus
You set my soul on fire
And then you fanned the flames.
(No forgiveness, no forgiveness)
I made so many mistakes I made?
I tried to take them higher
But every time that I came close
I just fell down again (again again?)
And when you asked me to do the hardest thing
I?d ever have to
I almost did it?but I just couldn?t follow through?
Chorus
I made a mistake,
I fell down,
I was small to me, Even though you told me
I was bigger
Than the man in the mirror. And now I?m sorry?
so please come back. But you say:
"Bye-bye, bye-bye, baby now?"
Goodbye. Goodbye.
I?ve fallen from grace
Take that look off your face.
And so I?ll thank you for the
Dreams you gave to me.
You came much closer than I
Ever thought you?d ever be.
Chorus
