A New Year's Walk

Inspiration, move me brightly

light the song with sense and color...

 It's the same story the crow told me 

It's the only one he know 

like the morning sun you come

and like the wind you go

Ain't no time to hate

barely time to wait

 Up on the Blue Ridge Mountains, there I'll take my stand

Rifle on my shoulder, six shooter in my hand

Oh Lord; I been all around this world...

 Laugh in the sunshine

sing

cry in the dark

fly

through the night

 I'll get a new start

live the life I should

 I sure don't know

What I'm goin' for

But I'm gonna go for it, 

That's for sure. 

Maybe goin' on a feelin'

Maybe goin' on a dream...

Little bolt of inspiration, right beside me now
Sparkin' my imagination, lightening now

Small wheel turn by the fire and rod

Big wheel turn by the grace of God

Every time that wheel turn round

bound to cover just a little more ground

The wheel is turning 

and you can't slow down

You can't let go 

and you can't hold on

You can't go back 

and you can't stand still

If the thunder don't get you 

then the lightning will

Won't you try just a little bit harder

Couldn't you try just a little bit more?
