Lyrics
So Far To Go
A journey of a thousand miles
Begins with the first step
Enthusiasm abounds within
The energy and pep
The distance from the start
Grows greater over time
But leaves a poor soul wondering
What awaits down the line
I've come so far to be here
But I have so far to go
Subtle changes over time
At the time hardly noticed
Traditions through the years
Are lost without a protest
Some desire familiar ways A different person from years ago
Even if they lose the focus That is how I want to be
Some move on to other pastures With wisdom brought from age
Happy with their choices Displayed in maturity
I've come so far to be here
But I have so far to go
To watch a loved one reach the end
Tears a hole that will never mend
Memory lies within that scar
The gift of the soul of who they are
The road I choose is mine
No matter good or regretful
The make the best of every choice
Will always leave my spirit full
I've come so far to be here
But I have so far to go
Just when I think I'm getting ahead
I discover...I have so very far to go
