I've met the Master on my knees been tested yes and tried
I've seen the God of heaven paint the fields and country side
I've been the husband of one wife heard my newborn baby cry
But when I've learned enough to really live
I'll be old enough to die old enough to die
I'm just a plain hard working man no stopping place have I found
And hough I'm tired I'm still inspired at night when I lie down
I've learned to like it on God's green earth and yet I wonder why
Cause when I've learned enough to really live
I'll be old enough to die old enough to die
