Geoff Moore - Pa**ionate Man lyrics

It was my summer of 18 years old I grew tired of not letting go As the promise land spread out Beyond that old dirt road I looked in my rear view mirror And watched as my past slipped away Like the dust cloud that rolled From the back of that old Chevrolet I gave you my heart with a promise That I would never turn around You led me out of that wilderness Before the dust had settled down (Chorus) And I loved you like the air I breathe And you filled my empty heart And I wore my faith out on my sleeve Like a fire in the dark I was willing to do anything Eager to make a stand I was a pa**ionate boy Make me a pa**ionate man My good intentions Like water under the bridge Have I thrown away the pearl That made my life so rich I turned down an old dirt road So familiar to me In the mirror I see a man I swore I would never be And I remember the promise That I would never turn What will it take to rekindle The flame that used to burn (Chorus) I remember the promise That I would never turn Won't you take and rekindle the flame The flame that used to burn And I'll love you like the air I breathe And you fill my empty heart And I'll wear my faith out on my sleeve Like a fire in the dark I am willing to do anything Eager to make a stand I was a pa**ionate boy Make me a pa**ionate man
