Long live the journey And long live the children we raise And long live the memories like leaves the years carried away And just like a tree that slowly grows The higher we reach, the deeper we go 'Cause we're living for something that'll be here when we're old And we're headed for some place a little further down the road Redwoods and Daisies never look worried to me They take what's been given As if that's all they'll ever need And if that's all they'll ever need Maybe that's all we really need 'Cause we're living for something that'll be here when we're old And we're headed for some place a little further down the road Some peoples' reason for living is to get all they can and move on But I find more grace in what's given Because it leads me to where I belong Elders are people who hold law and grace in their hands Where death is a doorway And falling's just learning to stand And less is more than we really need And empty's a space for us to receive 'Cause we're living for something that'll be here when we're old And we're headed for some place a little further down the road
