Well the blue's still in the water and the blue's still in the sky 

And way beyond the blue there's someone watchin' from on high 

My clothes may be ragged and my shoes may be worn 

But I've been a wealthy boy since I've been born 

Cause I call him when I'm troubled and I call him when I'm weak 

And he always pulls me through my troubles some way and I believe 

He'll be there (he'll be there) he'll be there (he'll be there) 

Like he always is to answer when I call him

My mother used to tell me I should take it slow 

The pace is not what matters it's the direction that you go 

Keep your feet upon the path and your eyes upon the goal 

You'll have all the joy a heart could ever hold 

Cause I call him when I'm troubled... 

Like he always is to answer when I call him
