Rough Around The Edges

[Verse 1] I knew a man a long, long time But I never knew him at all Small in stature, big at heart Oh, he always stood tall From the time that he was born He had a style all his own In my mind he could do no wrong Misunderstood all along He worked hard all his life To get what he has today We would all be better off If we could hear those words That he had to say [Chorus] [Verse 2] He took me by the hand And said, "Son, what's your plan? I won't stop you or stand in your way Someday you'll be a man I look at him with hungry eyes That only youth can know With all his wisdom and all his years He said, "I'll teach you all that you need to know [Chorus] [Bridge] Don't stop, now, keep moving Don't worry about where you are going I'll hear you, you'll feel me I'm there no matter where you go [Chorus][x2]
