lyrics

Once upon a time I was a little boy
My mother and my father were my only joy
And as the years went by I began to realize
That there's a pain inside of me that people just can't heal

Once upon a time I was a little man
Smoking marijuana with a whiskey in my hand
And as the years went by I began to realize
That there's a pain inside of me that drugs could never heal

Hey God, I long for you
I just want to be with you
Where do I begin
I want to live again

Once upon a time I was a lover man
Thought that love was measured by the girl holding my hand
But as the years went by, I began to realize
That there's a pain inside of me that sex cannot satisfy

Jesus, I long for You
I just want to be with You
Where do I begin
I want to live again

Then I remembered what I once read
Words from a man that this world says is dead
Jesus said, "Come to me, all who are weary
And heavily burdened.
Come to me. Bring all your sorrows and bring all your worries.
Just come to me.
And I will give you rest."
