lyrics :

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
( x3 )

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
