Lyrics
i knew a girl from across the sea
she didn't plan to stay here but she
came back to be with me
and now my friends like her better than they like me
and I don't mind, I do too
it just shows the quality of my friends who
know I'm a lucky man you see
ah but enough about me
i knew a man who traveled the land
singing his songs whenever he could lend a hand
wherever it was time to take a stand
or thigns didn’t work out like they planned
I've sung his songs, I loved the man
and he was wise enough to understand
to fill his shoes was not my destiny
ah but enough about me
i knew a country great and strong
had a powerful sense of what was right and what was wrong
from whatever race or religion you came
your rights and freedoms were all the same
and I believe that anything less
would mean we've surely made a mess
of this beautiful land of the free
ah but enough about me
I knew a child who loved to dance
who'd bust a move anytime there was a chance
you could hear all the laughter in the air
from here to the far side of the square
oh and growing up can seem so very hard
But don’t forget that childhood love is still a part
of you for all to see
ah but enough about me
