The Road I Go

Where the rod leads to the river
I pass the fields I know so well
Seems I've known them since forever
All their stories I can tell
I see my father in the meadow
He knows this day will be
That I will leave tomorrow
That I will be a memory
And I see him through the years of childhood
He bends now while I grow
I'll miss it here, but I won't fear
The road I go

Tonight we will be gathered
And we'll sing a song or two
The old songs we sang together
Bonny boys and violets blue
And I'll take songs to carry with me
To hold my memories
Till I will sing a new song
Of all that I have yet to be
For all I have been given
I'm ready now I know
I'll miss it here, but I won't fear
The road I go

I'll take songs to carry with me
To hold my memories
Till I will sing a new song
Of all that I have yet to be
For all I have been given
I'm ready now I know
I'll miss it here, but I won't fear
The road I go

I'll miss it here, but I won't fear
The rod I go

Oh, I'll miss it here, but I won't fear
The road I go
