An d now the end is near,
and so I face the final curtain.
My friends all stated clear,
this is my case of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full
I've traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this
But then again, too few to mention
And saw it through without exemption
And just to think, I did all that
And may I add, not in a shy way
To say the things we truly feel
And not the words of one who feels
The record shows I took the blows
I've loved, I've laughed,
I've had my fill, my share of losing
I've lived a life that full,
I've traveled each and every by way
But more, much more than this,
To say the things He truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blood
