I've met the Master on my knees
Been tested and I've been tried
And I've seen the God of heaven paint
The fields and the 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
Although I'm tired
I'm still inspired
At night when I lie down
I've learned to like it
On God's earth
And I sometimes I wonder why
When I've learned enough
To really live
I'll be old enough to die
Old enough to die
When I've learned enough
To really live
I'll be old enough to die
