IN THE LAND OF THE LIVING
I've travelled down most of the roads
of life available to you and me. Some
good, some ugly, some muddy.
I've made thousands of choices over
the years. Some wise, some wicked,
some foolish.
Some years ago, I came to my senses
and said it was time for a change. A
time to get on the right road toward
the land of the living. True living.
Truly living.
A land with kind thoughts, pure actions,
quieter living, tranquil days, restful nights.
Power packed with joyous enthusiasm.
Gladness in the heart. Serenity in the soul.
Come while you may,
and join with me
in the land of the living
'neath the cottonwood tree
Where the songbirds sing
and cool waters run free
Where the sun shines bright
and the eagles take flight
In the land of the living
What a beautiful sight
In the land of the living
What a beautiful sight
