I still remember your hand on my shoulder I can still see the lines on your face Sometimes it seemed we didn't have a prayer But we had plenty of love to spare And that is something time cannot erase Father takes me on your knee Father gives the world to me Or anything he can Make me a man And restless blood beats louder than hell Til you don't hear nothing but your heartbeat swell And I can't deny the burning of This restless blood I jumped school, tried to get somewhere He said, "Boy, it's a jungle out there, And everybody wants a piece of you" Now there's people talking, people trying They're all selling, I ain't buying Stand my ground Like you taught me to And restless blood beats louder than hell Til you don't hear nothing but your heartbeat swell And I can't deny the burning of The restless blood And restless blood beats louder than hell Til you don't hear nothing but your heartbeat swell I can't deny the burning of The restless blood And restless blood beats louder than hell Til you don't hear nothing but your heartbeat swell I can't deny the burning of The restless blood
