From Andrew's 2005 solo CD "Beyond Borders"

lyrics

Words & music A. McKnight, ©2003 Catalooch Music, BMI

Chorus
There is rust on my halo, there are stains on my soul
all the lessons I learn so slow, will someday make me whole

Verse 1
See that man, on the side of the road
shoulders bowed under heavy load
praying for change at the stop sign stand
cardboard letters and a soldier's hands
where did I learn not to believe, that he needs love like you and me

Chorus

Verse 2
see that girl, babies in her arms
who's gonna keep them safe from harm
mean streets full of guns and greed
how can she give them what they need
where did I learn not to believe, she needs respect like you and me

Chorus

Verse 3
I was born, to be a man
take my place in the master plan
the stack of things that I've done are good
is a whole lot shorter than the things I should
where did I learn not to believe, there's always hope for you and me

Chorus
