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, âBe what you want to beâ
He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
Itâs how I got over
When I became a man, granddaddy said, âCome, walk with meâ
He said, âBeing a man comes with responsibility
And always keep your word to the best of your ability"
When he looked me in my eyes he said, âItâs time to set you freeâ
He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
Itâs how I got over
He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a lane
Itâs how I got over
He paved the way for me to follow
Uncharted terrain now had a name
It's how I got over
