Lyrics for When I've Learned

I've met the master on my knees I was tested, I was tried I've seen the God of heaven Paint the fields and country side I've been the husband of one wife Heard my newborn baby cry But when I've learned enough to really live I'll be old enough to die Old enough to die I've always been a hard working man No stopping place have I found When I'm tired I'm still inspired At night when I lie down I've learned to kinda like this earth But I sometimes wonder why 'Cause when I've learned enough to really live I'll be old enough to die Old enough to die I've always been a hard working man No stopping place have I found When I'm tired I'm still inspired At night when I lie down I've learned to kinda like this earth But I sometimes wonder why 'Cause when I've learned enough to really live I'll be old enough to die Old enough to die Old enough to die Johnny Thank you, Johnny Johnny will be back a little bit later around in the show And we'd just let him sing to you Incidentally, that last number that Johnny sang was a brand new Columbia record It's a beautiful one "When I've learned enough"
