[Verse 1]
The steps that lead to any church
Form a stairway to a star
They're part of God and should be trod
More often than they are

[Verse 2]
I believe in the man in the sky (the man in the sky)
I believe with His help I'll get by (His help I'll get by)
My footsteps may falter
My eyes may grow dim
But He's my Gibraltar
I'm trusting in Him

[Verse 3]
Though a sparrow is all I may be (is all I may be)
On me, He will still keep an eye
Yes I'm singing His praise
Till the end of my days
I believe in the man in the sky

[Verse 4]
(Though a sparrow) Sparrow (is all I may be) Sparrow am I
(On me, He will still keep an eye) Keep an eye
Yes I'm singing His praise
Till the end of my days
I believe in the man in the sky (sky, man in the sky)

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
