~#**************#~
When I was a kid I used to buy and sell gravity
~#**************#~
I knew how to fly, and I would teach you for a fee
~#**************#~
Broke every window in my hotel heart
~#**************#~
When I was only five years old but twelve years scarred
~#**************#~
And Id hear the same voice echo in my mind
~#**************#~
Itd say, “Son, youve got an angel.”
~#**************#~
Thatd chase the devil at night
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher
~#**************#~
Hed talk about God, he was something like a teacher
~#**************#~
He said, “God only helps those who learn to help themselves”
~#**************#~
He was a million miles from a million dollars
~#**************#~
But you could never spend his wealth
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
I took a little faith, and put it in a parking lot
~#**************#~
I drove to a strange town full of “have” and “have nots”
~#**************#~
And as I walked through that story-book life
~#**************#~
Ive been looking for an angel whod chase the devil at night
~#**************#~
[Chorus 2]
~#**************#~
When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher
~#**************#~
He’d talk about love, he was something like a teacher
~#**************#~
He said, “God only helps those who learn to help themselves”
~#**************#~
He was a million miles from a million dollars
~#**************#~
But you could never spend his wealth
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
Wave, put your hands up and hands down
~#**************#~
Wave, put your hands up and hands down
~#**************#~
Wave, put your hands up and hands down
~#**************#~
[Chorus 3]
~#**************#~
When I was a kid my grandfather was a preacher
~#**************#~
He’d talk about life, he was something like a teacher
~#**************#~
He said, “God only helps those who learn to help themselves”
~#**************#~
He was a million miles from a million dollars
~#**************#~
But you could never spend his wealth
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
He was a million miles from a million dollars
~#**************#~
But you could never spend his wealth
