For all the things me eyes have seen
The cards that I’ve been dealt
For all the smiles and laughter
And all the pain I’ve felt
Well, I know it’s not my first time
On this journey through the past
So much is happening again
This time may be my last
An old soul’s traveled many miles
Born with a broken heart
A heart without protection
Defenseless from the start
Where any story in the news
Brings teardrops to my eyes
Learning from my failures
But never feeling wise
Aware that time is fleeting
The end is drawing near
Smiling at the finish line
And free from all the fears
With a light from all the bridges
Still burning in my past
This journey isn’t over
But it will be my last
