lyrics

When I was a baby, my mama she grabbed my hand
She said, "You better count your blessings
If you live to be a man"
My daddy bit the big one when I was just turning ten
And I think he'd be proud of me but I still wonder now and then
It's a funny way to grow up, when your shadow's filled with doubt
I bet it would've been easier if by then I'd found out that I was

Made from the best stuff on earth
But I can't help but confess
If I was asked, it would have been my second guess

Now I'm slightly older depending on who you ask
Sometimes I am unpredictable, or I'll hide behind my mask
Look around at everybody and I start to make assumptions
Like a herd of cattle going through all of our functions
We don't know just what to live for
But we know we don't wanna die
When I look at you and me, darling, I kind of understand why

Because you're made from the best stuff on earth

Yeah, we're all made from the best stuff on earth
