VERSE 1:
He leaned on his cane, and I could tell he was tired
And the pain he was in was clear
He was slow to stand up, and slow to sit down
A silver-haired saint of 90 plus years
PRE-CHORUS
(and) When I asked him how he was getting by
There was a smile in his cloudy blue eyes
And he said…
CHORUS:
This is nothing (It ain’t nothin’)
Nothing that’s gonna last
It’s just somethin’
That sooner or later will pass
Every ache and pain’s
Gonna stay in the grave
Cuz Heaven won’t let ‘em in
Oh, This Is nothing (It ain’t nothin’)
A good resurrection won’t fix
VERSE 2:
He said I know The Father and He knows me
So I know the time’s gonna come
When every promise He’s made, He’s gonna keep
On that great day The Lord raises me up
PRE 2:
an I’m gonna run down those streets made of gold
I won’t need this ole cane when I get home
