Life Has A Way

Anthony Hamilton · Back To Love [2011]

Take a look over your shoulder

Wise words get much older

Life has a way of humbling you down

Thought you already knew it

Took a turn and you blew it

Life has a way of humbling you down



So I think I already know everything

So I think there ain't room to grow everything

Oh life humbles you down



If I stare at the ceiling in a abandoned building

Life had a way of knocking me around

And my children still look up to me

While their stomach's on empty

Oh I need an angel to fall on me now



So I thought I already know everything

So I thought there wasn't room to grow everything

Oh life humbles you down

Humbles you down

Oh life has a way of humbling you down

Humbles you down

Oh life has a way of humbling you down



Just when I thought that I knew

(Oh just when I thought I knew it all)

There was a lesson in store

(There was a lesson in store for me)

Changed my whole world, now I know

(Changed my whole world, now I know)

There's always room left to grow

(See there's always room left to grow)
