The Iron Man (Alternate Version) Lyrics

When I was young, I never thought

That I would go my separate way

Now that I've aged, I have changed

And still the proud son you've raised

The day that I stepped off your stage

I knew you had something left to say

You kept it inside and it comes out

From time to time, when you pray

I want you to know I'm doing fine

I never blew out the light you placed inside

You've given me all i need to know

To help me face this world alone

I reminisce that motherless day

You took the bullet, you've embraced the pain

Yet still alive, an Iron Man

A working class ladies man

A clergyman, a helping hand

Despite the silent altercation that we have

I want you to know that i fear death

At least you know what lies ahead

I hope one day I'll see you again

That's if St Peter reads my name

I want you to know I'm doing fine

I never blew out the light you placed inside

You've given me all i need to know

To help me face this world alone

Life is a trail run in the dark

Sometimes we fall, and then we laugh

One day we will all have our chance

Our time spent here is not too long

If something could live after were gone

Let it be honest words to a song

We all afloat on this a pale blue dot

I've never met a man with a bigger heart

You've touched so many hearts, you've reached into minds

Spread love, and impacted lives

I hope this song makes you see

That I appreciate you taking on the challenge of raising me
