"He Starts Below" lyrics

I was born a drifter
A soul without a home
All I know is loneliness
All I've done is roam

My body burns with hunger
At times I've had to steal
Though it hurts my conscience
Truth is there for real

If a man is going to live
He's got to eat
If a man is going to reap
He's got to sow

To reach the top
He starts below
If a man is going to live
Going to eat going to reap going to sow
He starts below
He starts below
He starts below

I've travelled through the rain
I've travelled in the snow
I've hiked up every highway
Through bitter winds that blow

I don't know where I'm going
Or what I'm searching for
The truth is clear within me
And this I know for sure

If a man is gonna live
He's got to eat
If a man is gonna reap
He's got to sow

To reach the top
He starts below
If a man is gonna live gonna eat gonna reap gonna sow
He starts below
He starts below
He starts below
He starts below
