Standing far off you look at me
Wondering if I'm real
Lend me an ear I'll sing you a song
And tell you how I feel
Do you have the time?
Very small boy, a very big family
Mom and Dad raised ten
Pap and my brothers rode motorcycles
But me a guitar in hand
I loved melody
Me and my little sister Geri, we grew up quite close
Most of our brothers and sisters were married
With families of their own
We were still at home
Geri went to school, I played rock and roll
In a band learning how to jam
I thought that this would be my life
Come Sunday morning we went to church
It was routine I knew
Most of the time my wandering mind
Was half asleep in the pew
Unaware of You
Thinkin' that I could find peace of mind
By what I'd say and do
Only to find that I'd become blind
And I didn't know the truth
High on the line
Dead end street ahead, I was being led to and fro
Where I did not know
I need someone to change my life
Gone on a weekend with fellow musicians
The second month of the year
It was quite cold and the roads were so icy
And my mind wasn't quite clear
Little did I know
That my momma was in a collision
She went to be with the Lord
I was so empty but soon I discovered
That there was hope and more
Someone prayed for me
Older sister took me to a minister
Who told me how I could be free
I found someone who changed my life
And Jesus was his name
He died upon the cross for me
Then He rose again
And I now I've got a melody
His love I want too proclaim.
