Lyrics
One Man's Pain
Verse:
My Daddy is a wise old man
Whose deeds have taught me well
His wisdom never cost him shades of gray
Just gazing on his soulful face
You know he's been through hell
Though I wander far I often hear him say
Chorus:
One Man's Pain is another man's pleasure
One man's blindness another's sight
One man's trade is another man's treasure, my, oh, my
One man's hell is another man's heaven
One man's darkness another's Light
One Man's Pain, Lord, have mercy
One Man's Pain, One Man's Pain
Verse:
Though I spent my life a drifter
And I can drift right out of sight
I've been lookin' for some answers on my way
Well I've learned the way I see it does not always make it right
And if you should chance to ask me I will say
Chorus:
One Man's Pain is another man's pleasure
One man's blindness another's sight
One man's trade is another man's treasure, my, oh, my
One man's hell is another man's heaven
One man's darkness another's Light
One Man's Pain, Lord, have mercy
One Man's Pain, One Man's Pain
Instrumental Bridge
Verse:
You live too fast, you live too hard
You miss what's goin' down
But in time you learn to see the Light of day
Your search may lead to hell and back Before you're homeward bound
But when you're through we'll surely hear you say
Chorus:
One Man's Pain is another man's pleasure
One man's blindness another's sight
One man's trade is another man's treasure, my, oh, my
One man's hell is another man's heaven
One man's darkness another's Light
One Man's Pain, Lord, have mercy
One Man's Pain, One Man's Pain
Repeat chorus out
