LONG, LONG WAY TO GO

REFRAIN 1:

I may have a long, long way to go,

but that way must be paved with what I know.

It’s all so very clear – that my destiny is near,

though I may have a long, long way to go.

 

People think the future is distant

and removed from their command,

but, in truth, the future is only

one moment away from at hand.

  Refrain 1.

 

Though the details of life may vary,

the basic truth remains the same.

I’ll wake up to be tomorrow

the same soul that I am today. 

Refrain 1.

 

The one thing that’s sure about life

is the one who survives will be me.

I’ll take me along wherever I go;

and where I’m going is eternity. 

Refrain 1.

 

Let those who are listening to this tale

know they are as precious as they can be.

Like a bird flying in the heavens,

know that you were born to be free.

 

REFRAIN 2:

You may have a long, long way to go,

but that way must be paved with what you know.

It’s all so very clear – that your destiny is near,

though you may have a long, long way to go.
