I've been a beggar and I've been a king
I've been a loner and I've worn the ring
Losing myself just to find me again
I'm a million miles smarter but I ain't learnt a thing

I've been a teacher and a student of hurt
I've kept my word for whatever that's worth
Never been last but I've never been first
No, I may not be the best but I'm far from the worst
No, I may not be the best but I'm far from the worst

Oh I've seen trouble more than any man should bear
But I've seen enough joy, I've had more than my share
And I'm still not done, I'm only halfway there
I'm a million miles ahead of where I'm from,
But there's still another million miles to come

I keep on searching for the city of gold
So I'm gonna follow this yellow brick road
Thinking that maybe it might lead me home
I'm a million miles farther and a long way from home

I know that there's a plan that goes way beyond mine
Got to step back just to see the design
The mind fears the heart, but the heart doesn't mind
No, I may not be perfect but I'm loving this life
No, I may not be perfect but I'm loving this life

Oh, I've seen trouble more than any man should bear
But I've seen enough joy, I've had more than my share
And I'm still not done, I'm only halfway there
I'm a million miles ahead of where I'm from,
But there's still another million miles to come
