Lyrics Big Country – Ages Of A Man

We walked up to the river
You led me in waist deep
I looked down upon the swirling waters
By your feet

You were so strong and perfect
Pushed against a wave
I struggled close behind you
I was hoping I was saved

You took me to the mountain
Marched me up its side
We looked down together
I was trembling inside

For you told me once of Isaac
And what was meant for him
Then you turned to smile at me
And I was calm again

You oh you oh you
Took my hand
And led me down the ages of a man

You oh you oh you
Took my hand
And led me down the ages of a man

You took me to the darkest place
Deep below the earth
Showed me what the simple lives
Of men had once been worth

You said, “This is what we come from
And here we will return
Makes no difference who you come to be
Or what you’re worth”

You oh you oh you
Took my hand
And led me down the ages of a man

You oh you oh you
Took my hand
And led me down the ages of a man

You oh you oh you
Took my hand
And led me down the ages of a man

You oh you oh you
Took my hand
And led me down the ages of a man
