When I was just a little young boy, Papa said "Son, you'll never get far, I'll tell you the reason if you want to know, 'cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go."

See here how everything leads up to this day. And it's just like any other day that's ever been. Sun going up and then, the sun, it going down. Shine through my window, and my friends they come around.

Well, the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry anymore. When life looks like Easy Street there is danger at your door.

Ain't no time to hate, barely time to wait

Nothing's for certain, It could always go wrong, Come in when it's raining, Go on out when it's gone, We could have us a high time, Living the good life, Well I know

Trouble ahead, Trouble behind, and you know that notion just crossed my mind

There is a road, no simple highway, between the dawn and the dark of night. And if you go, no one may follow. That path is for your steps alone.

You who choose to lead must follow, But if you fall, you fall alone, If you should stand then who's to guide you? If I knew the way I would take you home

Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be here.
