Intro
Gb spoken
I'm not a perfect man, Not even a good man
But I'm not the sum of my mistakes
Or the sum of all the good things I've done
The truth lies somewhere between the two
But I'm a man who has been loved well
Both by God and by his family
And I'm a grateful man
So friends, walk slow, go easy
And love well
