Lyrics

Lonely image of a happy childhood
Must be I simply like time alone
Snowfall at night takes me back to the place where
We waited for snowplows to rescue our home
Why did they bother
I suppose peace of mind
For a mother and father
That's a hard thing to find
I know this from aging
It's a twisted path we're on

So do we go on and on and on
Worry about phone sales and mutual funds
Or do we attend to the ones that we love
And leave it to trust there's somebody above
Do we break down from fears of unknown
Or figure somehow the world won't get blown
I don't know but I'm willing to try
Willing to go along for the ride
I don't know but I'm willing to try
Long as I know you're here by my side
I'm willing to try

I know there's a God now but I don't know whose
I know there's a God now so I don't need to choose
I see her in details I feel him between
So much she looks over so much he has seen
So why does he bother
I suppose peace of mind
For Heavenly Fathers
That's a hard thing to find
I know this from aging
It's someone's dream we're in

So do we go on and on and on
Worry about email and work left undone
Or do we attend to the ones that we love
And leave the bullshit to someone above
Do we break down from fears of unknown
Or figure somehow the world won't get blown
I don't know but I'm willing to try
Willing to go along for the ride
I don't know but I'm willing to try
Long as I know you're here by my side
I'm willing to try
