Can we see a seventy-something Who strangely now has nothing There's a difference one can see Between the man and his decree In the little time before his death Before he takes that final breath I'd like to see him find some peace Before his chains to earth release He so needs the great divide Trails along a mountainside Above the clouds and taking in All the grandour that's therein I wish he would partake In the beauty of a mountain lake And stay so long without a care Between the pines and mountain air I'd like to see him run through grass Barefoot 'til his cares he'll pass And in a sunset find real peace As all his burdens finally cease

A man
Can we see a seventy-something Who strangely now has nothing There's a difference one can see Between the man and his decree In the little time before his death Before he takes that final breath I'd like to see him find some peace Before his chains to earth release He so needs the great divide Trails along a mountainside Above the clouds and taking in All the grandour that's therein I wish he would partake In the beauty of a mountain lake And stay so long without a care Between the pines and mountain air I'd like to see him run through grass Barefoot 'til his cares he'll pass And in a sunset find real peace As all his burdens finally cease
