The Years (demo)

Songwriters: R. Thomas / J. Richard
Lyrics: R. Thomas

We are all
on a journey
from daylight
into night
some of us
are in a hurry
while others
take their time
but the passage
is a long one
treacherous
and hard
and the wounds
we take
along the way
leave us wiser
but still scarred

Will the years
be kind to you
will the one
I loved
survive
the years
will they be kind
to you
will your heart
come back
alive
from your journey
to redemption
and your struggle
to find the truth
as you travel
down the road alone
will the years
be kind
to you

I've been out along
the road your on
I've walked
those crooked miles
had a few breaks
made more mistakes
than I care
to admit now
and I am not
the same man
I was way back then
time has left
a few marks
on me
like it will
upon you
my friend

Will the years
be kind to you
will the one
I loved
survive
the years
will they be kind
to you
will your heart
come back alive
from your journey
to redemption
and your struggle
to find the truth
as you travel
down the road alone
will the years
be kind
to you
