Low Man on the Totem Pole
1st verse
I only want what’s best for him
If he would just let me in
I know what he’s goin’ through
I’ve been down the same road too
His worry is plain to see
But the best years of his life are yet to be seen
2nd verse
He’ll go walking through those doors
With no idea what he’s in for
Wondering where he might fit
Is enough to make his poor head spin
‘Til he finds the familiar face
Of someone just like him looking for his place
Chorus
Figuring out just who he’ll be
Putting the life into his dreams
For the next year he’ll come to know
What it means to be the low man on the totem pole
This is all part of God’s plan
To turn the boy into a man
Testing him to find his way
Giving him the strength to be brave
3rd verse
It’s only a matter of time
Until she catches his eye
He’ll try to figure out
Why he keeps thinking about
The girl that fills his dreams
She’ll show him where an open heart can lead
2nd Chorus
Figuring out just who he’ll be
Putting the life into his dreams
For the next year he’ll come to know
What it means to be the low man on the totem pole
Figuring out just who he’ll be
Putting the life into his dreams
For the next year he’ll come to know
What it means to be the low man on the totem pole
The low man on the totem pole x 4
