I've been a beggar and I've been a king I've been a loner and I've won the reign Losing myself just to find me again I'm a million miles smarter, but I ain't learnt 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 may not be the best, but I'm far from the worst Oh I've seen trouble more than any man should bare But I've seen enough joy, I've had more than my share I'm still not done, I'm only halfway there I'm a million miles ahead of where I'm from But I still have another million miles to go Why I keep on searching for the city of gold I'm gonna follow this yellow brick road Thinking it 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 I 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 may not be perfect, but I'm loving this life Oh I've seen trouble more than any man should bare But I've seen enough joy, I've had more than my share I'm still not done, I'm only halfway there I'm a million miles ahead of where I'm from But I still have another million miles to go
