When I was just a boy
Granddaddy sat me on his knees
He told me that he loved me and we were family
We spoke about the world and all the possibilities
Then he held me in his arms
He said be what you want to be
He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
It's how I got over
When I became a man
Granddaddy said come walk with me
He said being a man comes with responsibility
And always keep your word to the best of your ability
When he looked me in my eyes
He said it's time to set you free
He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
It's how I got over
He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
It's how I got over
