With a pounding heart inside my chest
New shoes on my feet
I tell her goodbye one last time,
Tear rolls down her cheek
She says I love you son
And just like that i'm gone
With eighteen years behind me
I've got a whole life full of dreams
I spent countless nights asking God
Down there on my knees
And pretty soon I knew
What I had to do
So with a smile on my face
And a prayer in my heart
With my whole world behind me,
My life's about to start.
I can't count all the blessings
That are waiting in the end.
So I forget myself and give it all to him.
With a broken heart and trembling knees
I kneel down to pray.
It's not been easy so far,
It seems harder every day.
I ask God above
Please hear your son.
I've been away from home now,
Going on a year.
There's so much that I miss,
And so much that I love here
And that's when I began
To start to understand
So with a smile on my face
And a prayer in my heart
With my whole world behind me,
My life's about to start.
I can't count all the blessings
That are waiting in the end.
So I forget myself and give it all to him.
And I've got my plans, I've got my hopes
For what he has in store.
But when we leave it in his hands,
He gives us so much more.
With a pounding heart inside my chest,
Pair of worn out shoes.
I throw my arms around her,
And say mom we made it through.
She says, I missed you son.
And just like that I'm home.
With two quick years behind me,
I've got a whole life full of dreams.
My God has made a man of me,
And we make quite a team.
I changed while I was gone.
So from now on,
With a smile on my face
And a prayer in my heart
With my whole world behind me,
My life's about to start.
I can't count all the blessings
That are waiting in the end.
So I forget myself and give it all to
