lyrics
For The Journey Ahead
'Blessings be upon you as you live your life
May you rise and overcome the challenges that lay ahead
'May you find what you love
And always stick to those guns
May you crave the deepest parts, of this earth and man
(Chorus)
'And one day you'll have a son, and sing him this song
You'll teach him all the things you know and some things you do not
And when he's old enough you'll send him off, a soldier, ready to do fight
'cause all you can do is pray, that he makes it through the day, and someday he'll sing this song
'Blessings be upon you, I wish you the best and the worst in life
'May you always seek out truth; let it be as the clothes you wear
'Embrace all the colors of world, have an open heart and an open mind
'And never forget that you are loved, my heart is full of pride
'Blessings be upon you as you live your life
May you rise and overcome the challenges that lay ahead
'May you find what you love
And always stick to those guns
May you crave the deepest parts, of this earth and man
(Chorus)
'And one day you'll have a son, and sing him this song
You'll teach him all the things you know and some things you do not
And when he's old enough you'll send him off, a soldier, ready to do fight
'cause all you can do is pray, that he makes it through the day, and someday he'll sing this song
'Blessings be upon you, I wish you the best and the worst in life
'May you always seek out truth; let it be as the clothes you wear
'Embrace all the colors of world, have an open heart and an open mind
'And never forget that you are loved, my heart is full of pride
