V1.
D Em7 G D
I had a plan at eighteen years - I didn?t know it then
I had a life I had to spend before I could begin
But it almost did me in - The road I had walked
I had my plan my good way, but it was only talk
D Em C G D
Into many a moody town - down empty streets
Read promises but put them down gave ones I couldn?t keep
V2.
And looking look back now to 24
searching for love and truth.
What were the good things of my life?
could they get me through?
Then came a time my heart had something to say,
but my mind just didn?t work
How could I even see what?s right
when I?m caught in the dark
Into many a moody town - down empty streets
Read promises but put them down gave ones I couldn?t keep
Guitar Break
V3.
D Em G D
Then unto me a man He said the wise they fear the Lord -
D Em G D
If you wish to understand heed my Holy Word
V3. (Repeat)
Theme

Now I know where my life comes from
D Em C G D
I?ve got a lot to learn - seems I?ve just begun
Em G D
Lord, still got a lot to learn - seems I?ve just begun -
