Lyrics

JOURNEY

Chorus
IT'S A LONG JOURNEY, A WONDROUS LIFE

BEING ME, MYSELF, BEING A WIFE

BEING A MOTHER

TO THESE BEAUTIFUL KIDS

A JOURNEY . . . THAT'S WHAT IT IS

Verse 1
YOU TOOK MY HAND ON THE SANDY PATH

YOU HELPED ME UP TO THE WAVING GRASS

BY THE OCEAN WAVES IN THE SALTY AIR

YOU PUT A FLOWER IN MY HAIR

to chorus

Verse 2
OUR LITTLE ONES CLIMBED IN YOUR LAP

YOU WALKED WITH BABIES ON YOUR BACK

STORYBOOKS AND WOODLAND PATHS

SANDCASTLES AND BUBBLE BATHS

to chorus

Verse 3
I HELPED THEM LEARN TO TIE THEIR SHOES

YOU WORKED THREE JOBS AND READ THE NEWS

THEY LEARNED TO COUNT, TO SPELL, TO SING

I LEARNED WITH THEM SO MANY THINGS

Bridge
AS TIME SPILLS OUT IN MOMENTS

AS WE WALK ALONG THE WAY

WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING

BUT WE'RE GETTING THERE--

EACH AND EVERY DAY


Music Interlude (follow tune of chorus)


Verse 4
FIRST SMILE, FIRST STEP - IT NEVER GETS OLD

GRANDCHILDREN ARE LIKE GLITTERING GOLD

ANOTHER MIND, ANOTHER HEART

ANOTHER CHILD, A BRAND NEW START

to chorus
