Big Country - Ages Of A Man lyrics

We walked up to the river You led me in waist deep I looked down upon the swirling waters By your feet You were so strong and perfect Pushed against a wave I struggled close behind you I was hoping I was saved You took me to the mountain Marched me up its side We looked down together I was trembling inside For you told me once of Isaac And what was meant for him Then you turned to smile at me And I was calm again You oh you oh you Took my hand And led me down the ages of a man You oh you oh you Took my hand And led me down the ages of a man You took me to the darkest place Deep below the earth Showed me what the simple lives Of men had once been worth You said, “This is what we come from And here we will return Makes no difference who you come to be Or what you’re worth” You oh you oh you Took my hand And led me down the ages of a man You oh you oh you Took my hand And led me down the ages of a man You oh you oh you Took my hand And led me down the ages of a man You oh you oh you Took my hand And led me down the ages of a man
