lyrics

It is the sound of the passing time
The echo of the sad goodbye
It is the laughter that fades away
But to my future I look today
See, the time has come now to say goodbye
To saddle up my horse and ride
Into the sunset beyond the hill
Oh, from what I've known to what I will

It beckons me now to blindly go
To rest my faith in what I know
Not having seen now with my own eyes
But having felt here by my side

My feet may not return to stand on
The soil of my father's hands
But if I want to know what's beyond that hill
If I never go, I never will

A chance to become what I am
The one 'til now I have not been
And though I fear these changing times
If I don't seek then I'll never find

The hills may fall and the sun won't set
But to fear it all is the worst regret
The gift of life is a promised death
But it's a life that's not over yet
This life is not over yet
