When I was a kid I used to buy and sell gravity.
I knew how to fly, and I would teach you for a fee.
Broke every window in my hotel heart
When I was only five years old,
the 12 years scarred

But I´d hear the same voice echo in my mind
Said, "Son you got an angel that´d chase the devil at night"

When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher.
He´d talk about God.
Yeah he was something like a teacher.
He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves"
He was a million miles from a million dollars,
but you could never spend his wealth

I took a little faith and put it in a parking lot
I drove to a strange town full of "have" and "have-nots"
And as I walk through that story-book life
I was looking for an angel who´d chase the devil at night

When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher.
He´d talk about love. Yeah he was something like a teacher.
He said, "God only helps those who learn to help themselves"
He was a million miles from a million dollars,
but you could never spend his wealth

Wave. Put your hands up and hands down. (x3)
