They said I wouldn't last long, but here I am
They said the spirits are strong, but I got 'em to bend
Oh, life gave me lessons that I still question
Oh, they said I wouldn't last long, but here I am

Oh, st. Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds played
St. Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These treats may not look pretty
But I see angels walkin' in the city
St. Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away

Oh, no no

They say what doesn't kill you will make you strong
But I know thеre's a purpose in the strugglе when it all goes wrong
Oh, 'cause as he smiles on the streetlights instead of chaos in the night
They say what doesn't kill you will make you strong

Oh, st. Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds played
St. Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These treats may not look pretty
But I see angels walkin' in the city
St. Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away

Oh, no no
You can't keep me away

Baby, I (baby, I) loved you (loved you) more than you loved me
Maybe life (maybe life) got away (got away) of bringin' you to your knees

Oh, st. Ferdinand, my wonderland
Wild and strange, where vagabonds played
St. Ferdinand, not what I planned
For my faith, but I'm gonna stay
These treats may not look pretty
But I see angels walkin' in the city
St. Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change, oh

St. Ferdinand, my dear friend
Times may change; you can't keep me away
Oh, no on
You can't keep me away
