Humble Man

I think I've learned more in this past year Than in all my years before As the reality of this life Tends to show me more and more I may have saved a man's life, just last night But you won't see me keeping score You can bet, Im gonna stay a humble man Just like I was before I don't want the attention You won't see me boast or brag The shadows where I prefer to stay And those are just the facts My purpose is for giving Please try to understand There's more to life when you do what's right I gonna stay a humble man When I get my call up yonder, I'm sure I'll Have to answer for my sins Cause in no way am I perfect Just ask one of my friends I've been down and out Yet I've found my way I'm no different than the next man What more should I say I only hope He sees the good I've done I've tried to be a humble man I don't want the attention You won't see me boast or brag The shadows where I prefer to stay And those are just the facts My purpose is for giving And I hope you understand There's more to life, when you do what's right I gonna stay a humble man Of all the talents I've been blessed with What will mean the most to me Are the parting words I'm left with At my eulogy If they say I was a good man And great father to my son Then I'll pass on to forever Knowing my work was done I just hope They can say with honesty He remained a humble man Son of all the things I teach you Please remain a humble man
