The Gods of Men (LP Version)

I used to dream of being famous

Well, my name would be a household word

I thought that it would thrill me, then I saw that it could kill me

Now it strikes me as a little absurdI used to dream of being Don Juan

Of having all these pretty girls on my mind

It made shambles of my mind, so I found myself a wife

Who's a lover and a friend of mineAs the world, keeps turning 'round

You either learn to bend with the wind or it knocks you down

Turn your back on the gods of men

And the Lord, who is true, will give life back to you againI used to dream of being a rich man

Yeah, I swore I'd have it all someday

Once you chase it you will find that it isn't worth a dime

Until you're free enough to give it awayAnd I used to dream of chasing vengeance

All my enemies would crawl and sweat

Well my happiness was drained from reliving all the pain

Now I'm learning to forgive and forgetAs the world, keeps turning 'round

You either learn to bend with the wind or it knocks you down

Turn your back on the gods of men

And the Lord, who is true, will give life back to you againI used to dream of being a wanderer

With just my sneakers and my own guitar

Well, it got lonely right away, now I'm happy just to play

With my daughter in my own back yardAnd I used to dream of being a hero

Yeah, I told myself I'd never fall down

But I couldn't take the strain and Jesus is the name

Of the only hero I've ever foundAs the world, keeps turning 'round

You either learn to bend with the wind or it knocks you down

Turn your back on the gods of men

And the Lord, who is true, will give life back to you again
