In my life I have seen the changes

I have known the ranges

That you have left me to ride

And I will meet my barefoot brothers

And we’ll greet each other

When we reach the other side

 

And I’ve been trailed by men with horses

And men with torches

Wanting me to feel their fire

But I have found my steady sound

And my stable ground

Has pulled me from the mire

 

I don’t know when I’m returning

Leave a candle burning

So the flickers catch my eye

And I will see your smiling face

Feel your warm embrace

In the sweet by and by
