Il testo della I will follow

Back in junior high, well, i was a bit wild
Pretty safe to say that i was a troubled child
Didn't go to juvie but they had me on file
Drinking like a man, but thinking like a child

You wouldn't want to know me, man, i was a hooligan
It was the only crowd who would ever take me in
Cared about nothing, that's the loser's way to win
I hit the ninth grade and something happened then

And it was a sacrifice
(whoa)
There are those who give their lives

Lord, i'll follow if i have to leave all that i know
You go, i'll go and i know that i don't go alone
Even if it's only me that goes
Even if it's only me that goes
Even if it's only me that goes
I will follow

I came to know my god first year of high school
Not a smart move if you're trying to be cool
They knew me as a druggie who wouldn't follow rules
My friends didn't get it and they thought i was a fool

They called me self-righteous 'cause i wouldn't smoke pot
And now i didn't wanna split a bottle of schnapps
Plus i didn't wanna go running from the cops
And that's how i lost all the friends i got

And it was a sacrifice
(whoa)
There are those who give their lives

Lord, i'll follow if i have to leave all that i know
You go, i'll go and i know that i don't go alone
Even if it's only me that goes
Even if it's only me that goes
Even if it's only me that goes
I will follow

So everyone i knew just thought i was a freak
I wasn't hard to tell that they didn't want to speak
I used to be cool, but now i was a geek
Like drugs are for the strong and god is for the weak

Everything i have, well, i gave it to the cross
I count it as trash, i don't hesitate to toss
What i held dear was a burden to be lost
To get to the gold you've got to burn up the dross

And it was a sacrifice
(whoa)
There are those who give their lives

Lord, i'll follow if i have to leave all that i know
You go, i'll go and i know that i don't go alone
Even if it's only me that goes
Even if it's only me that goes
Even if it's only me that goes
I will follow
