When I was a kid

I used to buy and sell gravity

I knew how to fly

And I could teach you for a fee

Break every window

In my hotel heart

I was only 5 years old but 12 years scarred

And I'd hear the same voice

Echo in my mind

Said 'son you got an angel,

To chase the devil at the light'

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 walked through that storybook life

I was looking for an angel to chase the devil at the light

Oh! oh! oh!

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

When I was a kid

My grandfather was a preacher

He'd talk about life

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

Oh!

He was a million miles from a million dollars

But you could never spend his wealth..
