lyrics

If only for a while
Gonna put my feet up
If only for a while
Gonna rest my mind
Cause there's things I've seen
There's things I've done
I still carry through time

Before I walk this road
Gonna sit in sunshine
Before I walk this road
Gonna find a friend
Cause there's those I've loved
There's those I've lost
It all comes back again

Can't stop the river's running
Sun and moon still take their turns
It happens all the time is what we say
Still, the Mississippi ends
Empties into oblivion
Under somebody's last sunset every day

Before I close my eyes
Wanna tell my children
Before I close my eyes
I'll plant it in their minds
"You wield too much light
To fear the dark
Wherever your road winds"
