March 1977, Song # 4
You have passed another step
In that series of events
That grows around your life
You’ve done reasonably well
Though you’ve had your share
Of hard times and sorrow
You’ve been here for a while
But it’s time to move on
To new mountains and rivers
Refrain:
I think you realize
I think you know, that
We are no longer strangers
We are of the same family
We are no longer strangers
I hope that you are happy
You came to us here
Even though
There were times when you felt
You were being compared
To those who went before you
But don’t think of that now
Cause it’s over and done
And we don’t have much time left
Refrain:
Words fail to express
The feelings I have for you
But I see in your eyes
That you understand
