|
Many more miles were behind him |
|
Than he had left to go |
|
Closing in upon that last one |
|
We all must walk alone |
|
It's the one across the end of the line |
|
So we held on and we told stories |
|
Of the good and bad in all |
|
Of the power and the glory |
|
And the lonely days that crawled |
|
He said heaven holds true love |
|
And a satisfied mind. |
|
He said I ain't afraid of dying |
|
'Cause I know there's something worse |
|
When you have to see your reason for livin' go first |
|
And you get left behind |
|
Some can't think of nothing better |
|
Than to live this life forever |
|
I never wanted no more than was mine |
|
And to lay down someday and go home |
|
With a satisfied mind. |
|
He said don't look into the darkness |
|
If you want to see true black |
|
Look into a morning's brightness |
|
When love ain't coming back |
|
You will find right there a darkness that blinds |
|
And don't think wealth is ever having |
|
All you want all to yourself |
|
It is found when you are giving |
|
What you have to someone else |
|
The only difference in the rich and the poor |
|
Is a satisfied mind. |
|
And one light began to fade |
|
As one grew brighter |
|
And he said I ain't afraid of dying |
|
'Cause I know there's something worse |
|
When you have to see your reason for livin' go first |
|
And you get left behind. |
|
Some can't think of nothing better |
|
Than to live this life forever |
|
I never wanted no more than was mine |
|
And to lay down someday and go home |
|
Let me lay down someday and go home |
|
With a satisfied mind... |
