It takes some time to find the way
that leads us to life's master plan
Till then we take it day by day
as the boy grows to be a man

We count most years of life well spent
the few touched by sorrow well lost
I know the best that came and went
others purchased at twice the cost

We sway in rhythm to the time
as we dance through years and weather
Matching hearts beat to inner rhyme
we'll end it the same together

When minds are tired and our hearts old
oh we'll cherish those days of strife
For one more chance to be so bold
as to touch heaven in this life
