Randy Stonehill - The Gods Of Men Lyrics
I used to dream of being famousWell, my name would be a household word.I thought that it would thrill me, then I saw that it could kill meNow it strikes me as a little absurd.I used to dream of being Don Juan,Of having all these pretty girls on my mind.It made shambles of my mind, so I found myself a wifeWho's a lover and a friend of mine.Chorus:As the world, keeps turning 'round,You either learn to bend with the wind or it knocks you down.Turn your back on the gods of menAnd the Lord, who is true, will give life back to you again.I used to dream of being a rich man,Yeah, I swore I'd have it all someday.Once you chase it you will find that it isn't worth a dimeUntil you're free enough to give it away.And I used to dream of chasing venganceAll my enemies would crawl and sweat.Well my happiness was drained from reliving all the painNow I'm learning to forgive and forget.ChorusI used to dream of being a wanderer,With just my sneakers and my own guitar.Well, it got lonely right away, now I'm happy just to playWith my daughter in my own back yard.And I used to dream of being a hero,Yeah, I told myself I'd never fall down.But I couldn't take the strain and Jesus is the nameOf the only hero I've ever found.Chorus
