Lyrics
On the final highway, looking at the shadows that used to be my life
Nothing but the open road, the wind is in my hair forever
A peaceful light surrounds me, it makes my spirit fly
And the faces of the people and the places that I love still pass me by
Though I never held you, your face is deeply etched upon my mind
And the love I never showed you, will someday be a gift you find
YouÂ?ll find it in the hearts, and in the memories of those I left behind
So when you hear that whisper, donÂ?t be afraid my son
That voice will guide you when you are searching
A strength will always be there, and never let you fall
And never let you fall, not till a fatherÂ?s work is done
You may think you never knew me, yet youÂ?ll carry on my name
And deep within your soul will be a feeling ever burning like a flame
Some will look into your eyes, and see a face they still remember
So when you hear that whisper, donÂ?t be afraid my son
That voice will guide you when you are searching
A strength will always be there, and never let you fall
And never let you fall, not till a fatherÂ?s work is done
A strength will always be there, and never let you fall
And never let you fall, not till a fatherÂ?s work is done
