Walk A Long Way

Before we say goodbye I got a lot to work on And I've got some years to go Little did I know The guises I would play behind Unraveling the wires I'm great at what to say And make-believe is your belief I saw your avid faith I couldn't draw a line Between where I have come to And where I was at 25 Slow down and give in Move on with your heart of gold Find rest on your way Walk free with a lighter load I'm somewhat left behind And lonely at the thought of it Strapped in golden chains My final refrain Is careful what you wish for Be mindful of your prayers Walk a long way with kind steps Every word on your mind Etched in your eyes
