when i've learned enough to live

i've met the master on my knees

been tested

yes and tried

i've seen the god of heaven paint

the fields and 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

and though i'm tired i'm still inspired

at night when i lie down

i've learned to like it on god's green earth

and yet i wonder why

cause when i've learned enough to really live

i'll be old enough to die

old enough to die
