Trouble - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I've been a beggar and I've been a king

I've been a loner and I've worn the ring

Losing myself just to find me again

I'm a million miles smarter, but I ain't learned a thing

I've been a teacher and a student of hurt

I've kept my word for whatever that's worth

Never been last, but I've never been first

Oh I may not be the best, but I'm far from the worst

Oh I've seen trouble more than any man should bear

But I've seen enough joy, I've had more than my share

And I'm still not done, I'm only halfway there

I'm a million miles ahead of where I'm from

But there's still another million miles to come

I keep on searching for the city of gold

And I'm gonna follow this yellow brick road

Thinking that maybe, it might lead me home

I'm a million miles farther and a long way from home

I know that there's a plan that goes way beyond mine

Got to step back just to see the design

The mind fears the heart, but the heart doesn't mind

Oh I may not be perfect, but I'm loving this life

Oh I've seen trouble more than any man should bear

But I've seen enough joy, I've had more than my share

And I'm still not done, I'm only halfway there

I'm a million miles ahead of where I'm from

But there's still another million miles to come
