I've met the Master on my knees been tested and been tried

I've seen the God of heaven paint the fields and country side

I've been the husband of a wife heard my newborn baby cry

But when I've learned enough to really live I'll be old enough to die old enough to die

I'm just a plain hard working man no stopping place have I found

Although I'm tired I'm still inspired at night when I lie down

I've learned to like it on God's earth sometimes I wonder why

When I've learned enough to really live I'll be old enough to die old enough to die

When I've learned enough to really live I'll be old enough to die old enough to die
