When I was just a boy granddaddy sat me on his knee,
He told me that he loved me and that we were family,
We spoke about the world and all the possibilities
Then he held me in his arms , he said: “Be what you want to be”

He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
It's how I got over

When I became a man granddaddy said:”Come, walk with me”
He said: “Being a man comes with responsibility
And always keep your world to the best of your ability"
When he looked me in my eyes he said: “It's time to set you free”

He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
It's how I got over

He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
It's how I got over

He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a name
It's how I got over
