Growing up in the west, was all that I knew
On my right hand a bible, the left held a tool, and that was all I knew
My father would tell me, of a way not a rule
A way that was simple, but not meant for fools, and that was all I knew
Please don't say you know me best, I'm unlike all the rest
I'm unknown by my mother
I was made against the grain, humble and I'm vain
A revolutionary leader
The teachers would tell me, these test are all true
A clear looking window, a reflection of you, and that was all I knew
These leaders and prophets, would soon disappear
And all of their warnings, would just be a fear, And that was all I knew
Please don't say you know me best, I'm unlike all the rest
I'm unknown by my mother
I was made against the grain, humble and I'm vain
A revolutionary leader
I've been known to shock a few
Simply in the way I do
Hearts filled with a pain for you
Hate me now I'm having fun
Bringing peace to everyone
All roads lead back home to you
To you
I was made against the grain, humble and I'm vain
A revolutionary leader
