lyrics

I'm on a mission
to see what I've been missing
That's why I listen to
the rain sing its song

I'm one of the billions
of pilgrims to file in
Willing to be citizens
and children of God

Chorus
And I worry all the time
Am I wasting my precious time?
Do I hold on and enjoy the ride?
Or let go and hope I survive?

Stumble and free fall
sure as the night calls
Those wondrous bright stars
they will show you the way

Follow your heart
gone back to the start
In death may we part
in a beautiful way

Chorus

To all of my loved ones
who suffered my tantrums
Thank you for being
so patient and kind

And all those I ain't met
well I think there is time yet
to share what we have learned
and our words to entwine

Chorus
