[Verse 2] But you came in the middle and you fell in my hands Oh, a wonderful woman and an average man See that makes me the lucky man I won't be deserving, but I won't be denied See, I fell in this position, I will still teach my kids pride Because failure's a part of it all And if failure don't hurt, then failure don't work at all... [Chorus 2] But somebody told me that your nephew was born Oh, a beautiful baby, so smart and so sure of his little self And in a wonderful way, he was making me feel so small Was making me feel so small, was making me feel so small And I don't think I've felt this before... [Bridge] In all the reasons to come Well, they override my body and I point to the sun 'Cause where it's warm is where the wilderness grows and it grows, and it grows 'Till it all becomes nothing, and nothing is left as you know [Outro] We walked it for a thousand years, with broken eyes and salted ears Complaining 'bout the weather, like we ever had a choice Through all the noise and self-abuse, you waited for your fill of truth Oh, I'm terrified I'll achieve nothing at all...

Crowds grinned from ear to ear as they joined forces to sway together, sing their hearts out and reminisce on their fondest memories.
