Some Journey

Life is filled with many mistakes

The chances you take baby

are worth your many tries

Don't stop unless you see the sign

Keep it moving chile'on down the line



Life is filled with grief and heartache

Seek peace and you'll find sure relief

You might just say,

"I can't walk on these sorely achin' callused feet."

You just keep on struttin'down chile'

that long narrow street



Life is filled with sudden mishaps

But your dreams..

Don't you let disappear

It's worth your many experiences

and your reap of harvest is near

Keep on marching, you better march on chile'

through your bitter yet never wasted years



Life's a game some folks say

We play till the death

There's purpose and meaning

in your God given breath

Beloved you're tired and you've cried

Lift up your head now hold it high!



Oh....it's some journey that a man says,

"I'll rise and walk today."

Chile' life you know will end

then down to the shallow grave
