When I was a kid I used to buy and sell gravityI knew how to fly, and I would teach you for a feeBroke every window in my hotel heartWhen I was only 5 years old, the 12 years scarI'd hear the same voice, echo in my mindSee son you got an angel, to chase the devil at the nightWhen I was a kid, my grandfather was a preacherHe'd talked about God, yeah he was something like a teacherHe said "God only helps those who learn to help themselves"He was a million miles from a million dollarsBut you can never spend his wealthI took a little faith and put it in a parking lotI drove to a strange town full of have and have notsYeah, and as I walked through that story book of lifeI've been looking for an angelTo chase the devil at night, whoaWhen I was a kid, my grandfather was a preacherHe'd talked about love, yeah he was something like a teacherHe said "God only helps those who learn to help themselves"He was a million miles from a million dollarsBut you can never spend his wealthWave, put your hands up and hands downWave, put your hands up and hands downWave, put your hands up and hands downWhen I was a kid, my grandfather was a preacherHe'd talked about life, yeah he was something like a teacherHe said "God only helps those who learn to help themselves"He was a million miles from a million dollarsBut you can never spend his wealthHe was a million miles from a million dollarsBut you can never spend his wealth
