Building a Better Man

[Куплет 1] I found your note beneath the old front door Three crooked lines i had read before You said the road would teach me what i missed Now every mile is marked by your name in ink [Предприпев] I kept my pride in a worn-out case But it never took me very far from this place [Припев] I’m learning how to stand when the hard wind blows How to tell the truth when nobody knows You can lose your way and still turn around Put your feet back solid on the ground I’m not asking yesterday to set me free I’m building a better man from what happened to me [Куплет 2] The courthouse clock struck a quarter past noon I heard your laugh in an empty room Some debts get paid with more than gold Some doors swing wide when your hands let go [Предприпев] I carried blame like a second skin Till i saw the place where forgiveness begins [Припев] I’m learning how to stand when the hard wind blows How to tell the truth when nobody knows You can lose your way and still turn around Put your feet back solid on the ground I’m not asking yesterday to set me free I’m building a better man from what happened to me [Бридж] If you see me coming, don’t hide your eyes I’ve got no perfect alibi Just a heart that finally understands Some repairs begin with open hands [Guitar solo] [Final chorus] I’m learning how to stand when the hard wind blows How to tell the truth when nobody knows You can lose your way and still turn around Put your feet back solid on the ground I’m not asking yesterday to set me free I’m building a better man from what happened to me Yes, i’m building a better man from what happened to me [Аутро] One step honest, one step strong I’ve been looking for the road all along
