Growing up and growing older
Don't always go hand in hand
And it's not the weight on your shoulders
That makes you a man
Is this world we know spinning out of control
Or is it just me
I went to church when I was younger
And they taught me to believe
Now I can't help but wonder
What's been happening to me
Has God lost all faith in the human race
Or is it just me
Swing low, oh swing low
Swing low, swing low for me tonight
I started drinking much too early
And it led me astray
It doesn't matter if I was thirteen
Or it was ten o'clock today
It's just the same old song
Man is there something wrong
Or is it just me
Now I'm not drinking to ward off demons,
No, I've learned to live with them
And I've learned to live with questions,
But there's one thing I can't stand
And in the back of my mind
I'm afraid I'll find It's just me
Swing low, oh swing low
Swing low, oh swing low
Swing low, swing low for me tonight
You know I've been puttin' myself on trial
And I guess that if I'm convicted
It'll only prove that the deepest wounds
Are the ones that are self-inflicted
And God, what am I supposed to do
Nothing seems to make any sense
You know, I think I have faith in You
I just need a little more evidence
Swing low, oh swing low
Swing low, oh swing low
Swing low, swing low for me tonight
