Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Holes in his jeans, old shoes on his feet
With a cardboard sign at a red light
Got a few dollars out, rolled my window down
Said, “I hope this helps you get by”
[PreChorus]
He said, "Man, I won't tell my whole story, but
I'll tell you this much"
[Chorus]
There's a long list of roads to rock bottom
Just a handful of ways to climb out
Yeah, I've been hit with some punches
Strong enough to make Superman's knees hit the ground
Some things will make you start praying
Whether you believe in God or not
If you get low enough
You'll start looking up
[Verse 2]
I took his words with me as the light turned green
Started looking back on my life
The wrong turns in the rearview, and all of my fears too
Rushed to the front of my mind
[PreChorus]
I've seen more than my share of dead ends
So, I can tell you this much
[Chorus]
There's a long list of roads to rock bottom
Just a handful of ways to climb out
Yeah, I've been hit with some punches
Strong enough to make Superman's knees hit the ground
Some things will make you start praying
Whether you believe in God or not
If you get low enough
You'll start looking
[Bridge]
Up to the heavens, asking for help
Saying, "Lord, I can't do this by myself
Up to the Father, who calls you His own
Up to the One who can bring you back home
[Chorus]
There's a long list of roads to rock bottom
But He is the only way out
Yeah, I've been hit with some punches
Ooh, strong enough to make Superman's knees hit the ground
Some things will make you start praying
Start praying
Whether you believe in God or not
If you get low enough
You'll start looking up
[Outro]
If you get low enough
