I know where I'm going
and I know where I've been,
life's somewhere ahead of me,
right behind a rainbow's end.
I've looked this old world over
and I've searched with all my might
to see if I could change my life
and make it turnout right.
I saw the world fly by me,
but it never left a trace
of things that I was searching for
while running this human race.
When today was merely tomorrow
it seemed like yesterday,
for that's how things have happened
as I rode along this way.
I'd turn back all the pages
if only that I could
completely change my life around
and live the way I should.
Nothing in my life's been easy,
for it was sometimes harsh and cold
and I don't expect a change in it
until I'm gray and old.
I'll bet my bottom dollar
that the life I've got ahead
will be a great deal different
than the one that I have led.
I will live this life of mine
in the best that I can.
Now that I know my way around
I will follow the life I plan.
I know where I'm going
and I know where I've been.
My life is just ahead of me,
right behind that rainbow's end.
Now I think it's time to slow
my pace, if only a little bit
so I've got time to learn
about those with whom I sit. |
