Distant Stars Lyrics by Mark Allan Atwood

Old Scars & Sandbars

0

[Verse 1]
There's iron in my blood from distant stars
Rushin' through these veins to fire this well used heart
These lines around my eyes from where I've laughed and cried
Are just the outward expression of what you'll find here inside
[Chorus]
And everything I've seen and everything I've done
Has helped to make me half the man I hope to become
Some of it's from Jupiter and some of it's from Mars
I've got iron in my blood from distant stars
[Verse 2]
Livin' and lovin' can break anyone down
But a step in the right direction can turn you right back around
And sometimes it all flows easy and work is more like play
Then other times I can't seem to get out of my own way
[Chorus]
And everything I've seen and everything I've done
Has helped to make me half the man I hope to become
Some of it's from Jupiter and some of it's from Mars
But I've got iron in my blood from distant stars
[Bridge]
Well, the man you see before you wasn't born just yesterday
I'm a paint-by-number portrait with a different brush used every day
A playwright in the universal theater of choice
Singin' out a lifelong song in an ever-changing voice
But every morning I still get up and try to make a stand
Thankful for another chance to be a better man
And grateful for the people, those who left and those who stayed
'Cause they all pulled the strings that tuned up the singer on the stage
[Chorus]
And everything I've seen and everything I've done
Has helped to make me half the man I hope to become
Whether it's from Jupiter or whether it's from Mars
I've got iron in my blood from distant stars
I've got iron in my blood from distant stars
