At seventeen there was so much life left to explore
But now it seems I can’t find my way back home anymore
Love has come and love has gone, people and places all move on
The winter time seems colder now the days in the sun decrease somehow

Way up in the sky if I could fly I’d be alright
But back in real life I worry that I can never feel like the way I used to feel

At thirty nine the stairs steeper to climb just to get into bed
I’m losing time the years fall away like the hairs on my head
Love has come and love has gone, people and places all move on
The winter time seems colder now the days in the sun decrease somehow

Way up in the sky if I could fly I’d be alright
But back in real life I worry that I can never feel like the way I used to feel

You’ve been hanging around all these years
Your idols on your wall
Hoping they’ll drown the voice of fear
And catch you when you fall

I’ve been trying such a long long time
To drag myself over the finish line
But I’m standing on these feet of clay yeah
Standing on these feet of clay

Every morning till my dying day
To the Lord on bended knees I pray
Cos I’m standing on these feet of clay yeah
Standing on these feet of clay

I am not the same man that you love
He’s far above me
I am not the one you’re thinking of, thinking of no

I’ve been trying such a long long time
To drag myself over the finish line
But I’m standing on these feet of clay yeah
Standing on these feet of clay

I’m sinking down on to my knees
Oh Jesus will you help me please
Cos I’m standing on these feet of clay yeah
Standing on these feet of clay

I’ve been carrying around all these years
This burden on my own
Dying to drown the voice of fear
And find my way back home
