Lyrics

He was only 5 years old
When his momma passed away
She was riding on the back of motorcycle
And a deer got in the way

And the rain poured down
On that muddy cemetery lawn
That boy couldn’t find any words to pray
But the preacher had this to say

God gave you the strength
To walk down
Every single road you’re on
Sure, things can get tough
And life can get rough
But it’ll all turn around

He gave you the strength
To find out what you’re really made of
To walk through the fire
And end up higher
Just have little faith
He gave you the strength

That little boy
Became a man that red-letter day
He realized that life is a precious gift
Not to be wasted away

Raised a family of his own
Did what he could to make his house a home
But he would always remember the rain
And the words scared in his brain

(Repeat Chorus)

Heart wide open
His hands folded
He drops to his knees
Prays for some peace
He thanks the Lord
For blessing him with
Strength inside
To fight the good fight
And keep on living this life

(Repeat Chorus)
