THE JOURNEY
Life to me is like a journey
that each one has to take
sometines there's laughter, sometimes hurting
the choice is ours to make
Sometiimes the road is smooth and broad
sometimes filled with snares
sometimes it's long and very sweet
sometimes, thorny weeds and tares
We oft time find a special love
and that will ease our pain
and if we're not careful of the things we do
we'll live this hurt again
And so we go from place to place
upon some winding trail
wandering just to find ourselves
but it's most often that we fail
Sometimes in life we all must fail
and troubles we must borrow \
for we'll stumble down some blindding path
upon our way to sorrow
Sometimes we reach a meadow bright
with wild sweet singing birds
and make a memory while we're passing through
from pleasant things we've heard
Some times life seems a scrambled mess
as we're drifting here and there
so maybe what we need the most
is just a simple prayer
Just to get us on life's road again
and to learn the way to go
but we realize as we travel on
that we already know
And from this life we grow most tired
from traveling to and fro
and hope the journey will end soon
and find some final place to go
And so one day, we top a small green hill
and there within our sight
of one most gleaming home of home's
with windows glowing bright
And comes a voice from deep within
"Welcome home, my child"
come lay your burdens at my feet
and rest with me awhile
Come stay with me forever
for you're lifes journey now is done
just choose your mansion and your crown
for you are finally home
