Am
The innocence of childhood
Should remain throughout my life
Then the freedom I've been gifted

Who can't reach to find their way

And be more than just a stranger
To the ones I love each day

A time for everyone

Faith, mighty faith

The promise no one sees

They will never wait for me

The comfort of a good friend

To embrace the walls around me
Give myself some valued time

I will share in equal measures
All the problems of my day

As I wade through troubled water
That might rush my life away

Verse 3:
Am
The expectancy of old age
As the turning nears home
Disbelieving my reflection
Knowing that I'm on my own
Dm
On this road that keeps on winding
Feeling that it won't be long
F
Until the final destination
Force my hand and leads me on
