All My Life Streets are getting meaner So hard to survive Doin' all you can to stay alive There's a stranger on the corner Waitin there for you He knows that you are only pa**ing through The only way to make it In this faithless town 's to turn away when something's going down All my life, all my life, I have tried to do the best I can All my life, all my life, lord you know I am just a man 's one day at a time You borrow beg and steal But if you wanna make a deal Take a look around you The dogs are are closing in They don't care who you are or where you bin Crying out for jesus beggin him for grace Can he see the fear upon your face All my life, all my life, I have tried to do the best I can All my life, all my life, lord you know I am just a man You hide your face in silence Your back against the wall You feel nobody hears you when you call Making your confession You hang your head and pray Lord why does it have to be this way All my life, all my life, I have tried to do the best I can All my life, all my life, lord you know I am just a man
