Last Man Standing

My heart's taken a beating

But there's still a drum beat inside

I know my days are numbered

But I'm still awake

I'm still alive

Sands of time

Slipping through my hand

I'm the last man standing

I'm the last man standing

I've seen kings reduced to thieves

I've seen the writing on the wall

I've seen the great walls crumble

I've watched the nations fall

None of this is how I planned it

But I'm the last man standing

I'm the last man standing

I've seen a wicked man rise up

I've watched a good man die

And I said "Lord, why this bitter cup?"

And he never told me why

I still got my guitar in my hand

You know who I am

I'm the last man standing

I'm the last man standing

I learned my pain the hard way

Heaven knows I've seen my share

And the lessons that it taught me

Ain't nothin free, ain't nothin fair

Ain't no way to understand it

But you better believe it

I'm right here

I'm right now

I'm the last man standing

You know

You know who I am

With this guitar

In my hand

I'm the last man standing

I'm the last man standing
