My Greatness

Thought 24 years old would be the age I'd find my greatness Thought I'd be famous, yeah, I was shameless But that age came in when so long ago, and I'm still livin' In this town I was raised in Still searchin' for my soul on the same old country roads That my mom and dad played in Still searchin' for my dreams in the same old knee-high jeans Not much more to show for my existence Except love Love, I got plenty of it Oh, love Love, I'm swimming in it On the day that I was born, first time in mama's arms She said she knew I'd teach her something about love But I grew up in the closet, wrapped in shame's dark blanket Mourning the love I never know But at 24 years old, I grew brave and paved a way And I gave my heart to a beautiful woman And through all these years, even now she's gone away Mama's love never swayed Her love, her love, her love, her love Her love was the greatest gift I've ever known Her love, her love, her love, her love Her love is still the greatest gift I've ever known My little bro told me words that grandpa spoke He said, "Leave this world better than you found it" And that's all I came to do I'm following the footprints, singing this message to you It's easy, but it's true, mama's spirit is singing a tune And all those who came before me We sing Love Love, I got plenty of it Love Love, I'm swimming in it Love Love is my greatness Love Love is my greatness
