When I was just a boy

Granddaddy sat me on his knee

He told me that he loved me and that we were family, 

We spoke about the world and all the possibilities

Then he held me in his arms

He said: "Be what you want to be"



He paved a way for me to follow

Uncharted terrain now had a lane

It's how I got over



When I became a man

Granddaddy said: "Come walk with me"

He said: "Being a man comes with responsibility

And always keep your word to the best of your ability"

When he looked me in my eyes

He said: "It's time to set you free"



He paved a way for me to follow

Uncharted terrain now had a lane

It's how I got over



He paved a way for me to follow

Uncharted terrain now had a lane

It's how I got over



He paved a way for me to follow

Uncharted terrain now had a name

It's how I got over
