Well the blue's still in the water and the blue's still in the sky And way beyond the blue there's someone watchin' from on high My clothes may be ragged and my shoes may be worn But I've been a wealthy boy since I've been born Cause I call him when I'm troubled and I call him when I'm weak And he always pulls me through my troubles some way and I believe He'll be there (he'll be there) he'll be there (he'll be there) Like he always is to answer when I call him [ guitar ] My mother used to tell me I should take it slow The pace is not what matters it's the direction that you go Keep your feet upon the path and your eyes upon the goal You'll have all the joy a heart could ever hold Cause I call him when I'm troubled... Like he always is to answer when I call him
