Here I stand, an older man Reaching out with open hands Did I try to take a chance Did I do the awkward dance I think I might throw out my line Maybe catch a big ole wish and I I will take that wish and I'd follow it Out across the openness Out across the openness Spread my wings and go for it Not look over my shoulder, no sir, not one bit I would surely shout it out, sing my truth right out loud I'd even share my brokenness Out across the openness And if I was an old windmill I'd harness the winds of change until The waters flowed up from my roots A singing fountain of my truth Out across the openness Spread my wings and go for it I'd even share my brokenness, Out across the openness If I were an old black crow Flyin' high above redemption road I'd find a place, where I could land Join the parade and sing with the band Here I am dancing in the fallen leaves In the Autumn of my life, I sing All I want is to make my peace With the shadow and the light in me
