I spent my life stumbling down this road that I must
travel
And I spent my time chasing dreams that never did
unravel
I've seen the light in the darkness
And I've seen the clouds roll away
I am not leaving now
Faced the prairie darkness, seen the cold wind howl
I cannot take my bow
'Til I've stated the reason for the hope I found
I am not leaving now
I run this race with weary feet and a heart that's
newly branded
And I set my face to the east and so far I'm still
standin'
Though I'm afraid of the silence
(Well)
I am not running away
I am not leaving now
Faced the prairie darkness, seen the cold wind howl
I cannot take my bow
'Til I've stated the reason for the hope I found
I am not leaving now
(Well)
I believe there is a prize awaitin'
Those who will finish strong
I could stand around here debating
Or take my cross and carry on for I
I spent my life stumbling down this road that I must
travel
I spent my time chasing dream that never did unravel
Though I'm afraid of the silence
I am not running away
I am not leaving now
Faced the prairie darkness, seen the cold wind howl
I cannot take my bow
'Til I've stated the reason for the hope I found
I am not leaving now
