"Good Lord (You've Come So Far)" lyrics

I used to wonder why you let the wind blow right through you
And then I remember you're still five years younger than me
You think I'm closed right now, you should have seen me before I knew you
In a way, you're wiser now than I think I'll ever be

And I don't have to tell you nothing you can listen to your own advice
You got a brain between your ears, two feet you can stand on them and go anywhere you like
And you know when the clouds come rolling there's no real way of knowing exactly where the rain is gonna fall
You got the good Lord's name through all the comfort and the pain
Gonna take it in vain once more

Good Lord, you've come so far
Good Lord, you've come so far

I used to need to know why I would find you alone and crying
Hiding wet tear tracks while you kept your back to the world
Somedays you feel reborn somedays feel more like dying
Well I can see you getting stronger now, with each new lesson you learn

And I don't have to tell you nothing you can listen to your own advice
You got a brain between your ears, two feet you can stand on them and go anywhere you like
And you know when the clouds come rolling there's no real way of knowing exactly where the rain is gonna fall
You got the good Lord's name through all the comfort and the pain
Gonna take it in vain once more

Good Lord, you've come so far
Good Lord, you've come so far

And on those days when you forget just who you are
And when the seams of your dreams get stretched and come apart
And if it feels like all of your gifts have no reward
I hope you take some comfort in this, Good Lord

You've come so far
