I've been a beggar and I've been a king I've been a loner and I've worn the ring Losing myself just to find me again I'm a million miles smarter, but I ain't learnt a thing I've been a teacher and a student of hurt I've kept my word for whatever that's worth Never been last, but I've never been first No I may not be the best, but I'm far from the worst No I may not be the best, but I'm far from the worst Oh I've seen trouble more than any man should bear But I've seen enough joy, I've had more than my share And I'm still not done, I'm only halfway there I'm a million miles ahead of where I'm from But there's still another million miles to come Why I keep on searching for the city of gold I'm gonna follow this yellow brick road Thinking that maybe, it might lead me home I'm a million miles farther and a long way from home I know that there's a plan that goes way beyond mine Got to step back to see the designnot done, I'm only halfway there I'm a million miles ahead of where I'm from But there's still another million miles to come I keep on searching for the city of gold And I'm gonna follow this yellow brick road Thinking that maybe, it might lead me home I'm a million miles farther and a long way from home I know that there's a plan that goes way beyond mine Got to step back just to see the design The mind fears the heart but the heart doesn't mind No I may not be perfect, but I'm loving this life No I may not be perfect, but I'm loving this life Oh, I've seen trouble more than any man should bear But I've seen enough joy, I've had more than my share And I'm still not done, I'm only halfway there I'm a million miles ahead of where I'm from But there's still another million miles to come
